Facelift - stark white lines and spots close to the surgery area?

leaangeline
I had a face lift in BELLEVUE Wa about 18 months ago. Bad experience wish I didn't do it. One side of my face had severe scaring which after going to another surgeon I found out was necrosis. On that same side I also have these stark white lines and small white marks. What could have caused this? They are not where I was cut. They appeared after about a month. I have to have a scar revision done but was told I have to wait a few years.
