Bumps near internal sutures at temples on day 9 post op face/neck lift - tips for getting rid of these? (photos)

Thank you for your question.  9 days post op is still very early days therefore lumps and irregularities around the incision area is not uncommon.  The healing process of any procedures can take 3-6 months before fully healed and settled.  I will only advise my patients to start massaging their incisions after 4 weeks, this is to ensure the wounds have all properly healed and there is no signs of infection or wound break down.  Once my patients attend their 1 months follow up, I then will advise whether massaging in circular motions can be carried out.  Please ensure you make regular follow up appointment with your surgeon so he can access your recovery process.All The Best 

Skin closure irregularities are common following facelift.  Give it some time, as most will subside with time.  It's a good idea to discuss with your surgeon.

Thanks for your question.  This is a common occurrence in the early days after facelift surgery.  They will settle after time.  If your surgeon tells you to massage, then follow their instruction.  The most important component is your patience.  I know that can be difficult, especially when it is your face, but often that is all that is needed.  Good luck to you and be sure to enjoy your new look!!
