The lumps have been here unchanging for nearly a week. I’m pale Caucasian age 40. The procedure was done by a very experienced and well-regarded facial plastic surgeon. Lumps are painless and not acne.I followed aftercare advice perfectly and was told all was well at me last check at three weeks. I can’t find anything online about this being a side effect or a type of scarring?! I followed aftercare advice perfectly and was told all was well at me last check at three weeks.
