Indentation on cheek after facelift. What can be done about it? (Photo)

February 17, 2018
Asked By:kdc2550 in Georgia, GA

I had a lower facelift and neck lift 3 1/2 weeks ago. I have an indentation on my left cheek that appeared about day 6. I have been massaging at the direction of my plastic surgeon. I am concerned that it is staying the same. Any thoughts on what this is or what can be done about it?
