68 yr. old female, I had a deep plane mini-tuck 6 mos ago to address my jowls & loose neck skin. I've had bumps, lumps and discoloration in my right cheek, and slight lumps in my left upper cheek that have not improved since surgery despite massage and heat. My PS is talking about ordering a new ultrasound machine to start u/s therapy. Does u/s help in getting rid of the disfiguring adhesions? Additionally, my jawline is asymetrical with the right jaw being fuller. Will that improve?
