Facial Redness After Facelift?

January 7, 2013
Asked By:marjayrey in Rochester, NY

Although the black & blue bruising is gone 2 months post surgery, the sides of my face where it is still hard and tender seem unusually red, and the skin is not smooth at all. Will this disappear with time, or is it something that should be addressed and treated? It's still too tender for any thick make up, can only use powder so it's very obvious. I see doctor in a week, but would like additional opinions please! Thanks so much.
