Asked By:cindymd in Rockville, MD

Hi, I had a Facelift procedure about 3.5 weeks ago. I am still experiencing numbness on my cheeks, jaw and under chin.It also feels lumpy under my skin, noticeable especially around the area where the cyst was removed which is right on both side of my mouth. Is it something I should be concerned about? Please advice. Thank you.
