Answer: Scar tissue under the chin after a face lift Thank you for your query. I would request you to wait till the swelling is gone. There may be some residual scar tissue , or maybe we now have a hollow. If, once the swelling is gone, there is residual scar tissue , it must be removed, If, however. there is a hollow , autologous fat injections will help. Please wait and follow up with your surgeon. All the best!

Answer: Revision A revision to remove the residual lumps would be needed. This can be done under local in the office. Care needs to be taken to ensure the skin is not injured while elevating it.

Answer: Wait one year If this was scar tissue, then some remains need to be remodeled and settled before attempting revision again. It's hard to know if this was a granuloma from the suture material, if you had a platysmaplasty, or if it was mature scar tissue. The revision needs to wait for one year, and depending on how it looks, it will be difficult to predict the outcome at that point.
