Bumps on the side of my face 7 months after MACS facelift. Should I be concerned and is it noticeable? (photo)

Question

I had a MACS facelift done Jan. 6, 2022. 7 months later I noticed 3 bumps down the side of my face. I just met with my doctor who told me there wasn't anything he could do and that this was acceptable. He wanted me to get a 2nd opinion so that I could hear from another doctor that this was totally a good job and that it's not noticeable. So I called and can't get into see anyone for months so I'm trying here to see what others who have done this procedure thinks.

It’s so hard to tell what’s going on with such a poor picture. Try submitting more photos that show the area I see up.

The 1 only posted photo is not very well presented! Best to either have someone take better photos of the face at 3-5 angles more close up. Or seek virtual consult with... Yes I think your results are very very minimal.As for those bumps - no idea until seeing better photos. Most likely you will need facial ultrasound in office of bumps than rethink secondary full face/neck lift with SMAS plication. Fee $15,000.
