Scar tissue or cysts??? Numerous hard ridges and lumps after Facelift & fat transfer with no improvement at week 5.

Asked By:persnickety in Council Bluffs, IA

I have developed numerous hard ridges in my cheeks and neck that have shown no improvement in the last 2 weeks. My face is so tight that I can not smile and opening my mouth is limited. I have tried massage and warm compresses with no results. My scar was reopened for needle aspiration and the bumps were solid and could not be drained. It sounded like the needle was hitting hard califications. The surgeon now thinks it is scar tissue, or hardened oil cysts. Do I need a second opinion?
