What Caused This Raised Tissue After my Neck Lift? (photo)

wellwell
It's 5 weeks after neck lift surgery. I still have severe swelling and a long tube/roll of raised and rigid tissue at the adams apple level of my neck. My PS has treated this with steroid injections at 2 weeks and 5FU injection at 4 weeks. My PS has been vague as to the cause and I have been told it will eventually heal. I am skeptical. Do you have any thoughts on what might have happened?
