I had a facelift over 9 months ago and there is a swollen,, defined, almost cystic area on one cheek that does not seem to be going away. I have asked the surgeon about this and he says he thinks it will resolve in time ( I sent him photos of the area). Is there not anything that could be done about it?

Answer: Swollen Area Hello! Thanks for the great photos and question. Options do exist. One would be careful injection of steroid with massaging after. Morpheus8 RF microneedling can provide some smoothing and tightening to the area. And, at 9 months, it could need more time. I would try the above first to see if improvements can be made. Hope this is useful!

Answer: WHAT CAN BE DONE FOR... What can be done for defined swollen area 9 months post facelift? AS seen in posted photos I would obtain an ultrasound of area of cheek. In office ultrasound fee $500. Then if only fat or scar tissue I try dissolving injections first. Best to see in person.
