Swelling after facial treatment 4 months after face lift

August 31, 2015
Asked By:khalabegum in Canada, KY

I had inferior blephroplasty and lower face lift done 4 months ago. Things have been going well even though there is still some swelling mostly at the back of cheeks near the ears. However I went for a facial and upper body massage today which was rather vigorous. I didn't feel much at the time but now the face is more swollen than before (but not bruised). Could I have done some damage to the surgery?
