My skin looks like it's pulled to much on one side creating a ridge /line with loose skin under it I'm only 4 days post op so hoping it's just swelling but it just doesn't feel right. Any suggestions as to what it could be would be gratefully received.

Answer: 4 day post-op ridge At 4 days post-op it is not uncommon to have irregularities under the skin. This will be due to uneven swelling. Give yourself time to heal and most of these will resolve. IT would be unusual to have anything in that area that would cause permanent creasing.

Answer: Facelift What it could be... its likely due to how the skin was repositioned. If to much tension is placed on one area of the skin flap...it will result in a band where the skin is taunt in the direction of pull and looser above and below it, thus creating the line or band appearance. The way to avoid it is to put even distribution of the tension on the skin flap...or to put less tension in that particular area that caused the band. You are still very early and edema can create abnormal forces on the skin. I would not get discouraged this early.... I would wait until the swelling decreases and your skin relaxes which can take a few weeks.
