Neck muscle pain and tightness 2 years after mid face/neck lift (Photo)

Honest27169Oct 24, 2022

Near 2 years ago, I had midface/neck lift . My neck muscles are still intensely tight and strangles my neck from jaw to jaw. I have tried massages, acupuncture, chiropractor treatments but to no avail. The surgent is nonresponsive and his office doesn't return my calls. I am now working with another doctor who thinks I have bad internal scarring (possibly deep tissue) due to trauma endured during the procedure. Steroid shots were given but hasn't worked too well. Scared and need help.

At this time, 6 months after surgery, your scars are far from being mature, stable. You are just passing the perior of bulky, juicy, red scars. In some areas this pull will create visible lumps, hardness, pull underneath the skin; you have to imagine that similar scar develops underneath the...
