Hard lump and big ridge around jaw line after chin liposuction. (Photos)

avabear01Apr 25, 2018
I had chin lipo 6 weeks ago and developed a hard ridge that goes around the left side of my jaw to under my chin. I also have a lump under my chin that is about an inch big. My PS made an incision behind my left ear to perform the Lipo and a incision under my chin. Will this go away and is the ridge around the left side from where the incision was made to perform the Lipo on my jaw. Also my PS liposuctioned into my neck. I now have a brown line across my neck and a divet in that area. Help!
