Answer: Facelift fibrosis
If it has only been three weeks,so I doubt it is actually fibrosis. It may just be edema. If it is edema, manual massage and sleeping with the head of the bed elevated may help. If it is fibrosis, light massage or ultrasound massage may help very little in my experience, but probably won't hurt. Keep close follow up with your physician. There are a multitude of facelift techniques, and he or she is the only one who knows the anatomy of your procedure and will be the best with advice for your recovery. Good luck.

Answer: Scar tissue after Facelift
It has only been 3 weeks, it is normal to feel firmness (induration) in the treated areas. Be patient and the scar tissue should improve over several months without intervention. A light massage with your fingertips on a regular basis is probably the best way to speed this along.
