I had neck and facelift 8 weeks ago. Is this lumpiness and ridge normal. I also am still very red on one side. I'm not sure if its still bruising or if the skin is scarred. I'm posting pictures. My PS said he didn't know what the puffed area was.

Answer: Lumpy FAcelift
Typically lumpiness is not expected after the surgery but these areas may occur and usually take time to resolve. Tissue massage can be helpful.

Answer: Cheek Lumpiness after Facelift
Some temporary contour imperfections are common in the early stages after facelift. By 6 weeks, they are usually close to gone. In rare situations, it takes a little longer.
After confirming with your surgeon, I would recommend gentle massage and watchful waiting. You should appreciate progress over the next week.
