In August 2018, my neck was terribly disfigured by hematoma/scar tissue (it is soft tissue). What should be done? (photo)

Unfortunately, complications from hematoma may present this way. Based on current photos, I would consider revision of face and neck surgery with complete release of neck skin, possibly platysma bands revision and skin excision in front and behind ears. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in facial rejuvenation is recommended. Good luck.

Hi thanks for your question. Sorry to hear about the hematoma. The good news is that you still have an oopportunity to improve the appearance of your neck. It will require additional surgery to release any scar tissue and redrape your neck skin, but a good outcome can be expected. Seek out an experienced surgeon and obtain a consultation. I wish you the best!

It is unfortunate that this happened. If you have consulted with your surgeon and need to move on then consultations would be helpful. I would re-do you procedure and make sure this does not happen again. The video provided will help you understand the procedure and how the chance of a hematoma can be avoided. Best, Dr. Kulick San Francisco 

A lower face/neck lift under local with a little iv sedation would do just fine to fix it up nice and neetly.

First- It would be helpful to know the cause of hematoma in this area. Based on limited photos- a full check and neck lift separating all of the retracted and swollen areas - will be helpful. It may not be completely corrected but should be noticeable better - in the right hands

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Yes, most likely this can be improved but will require an additional surgery.  Seek out a series of providers to discuss your concerns and to evaluate your candidacy.  

Thank you for your question.  I see and understand your problem.  The way to solve that problem is by perform a new surgery.  I will discuss that with your surgeon and be concern about the after care that is a very important component for your good results.

You have two options for neck contour improvement. One option is to fully release the neck skin through a lower facelift approach and redistribute the released skin and work out the excess back towards the ears. This would be the most common approach. The alternative option is a direct necklift where the contracted skin is removed directly. While this would be very effective and less invasive, it will result ins a fine line scar down the center of the neck.

Sorry for your problem and surgery is needed.    So go on some complimentary consultations with experts and compare recommendations after a full examination Dr Corbin

Discuss your options with your surgeon.  To get the best result, your surgeon may need to go through the lower face/ neck incisions, free up the skin and re-drape it for a smoother neck.  I agree with you that a revision will be needed.
