I just had a face / neck lift 1 month ago. I have a hematoma in my neck and lumps, bumps, and raised rake marks on both sides of my face and neck. I'm just wondering if this is normal and if it would benifit me to buy a handheld ultasound massage unit for gentle massage to promote faster healing. Thank you

Answer: Using handheld ultrasound machines to help facelift contour irregularities. Your irregularities are caused by scaring underneath your skin. This scarring will eventually soften and flatten over time. I don’t believe the addition of a possibly expensive home ultrasound machine would help you. Time will make things better and some gentle massaging by yourself with also help to soften and flatten the scars, but patience is important.

Answer: Would a Handheld Ultrasound Unit Aid in the Healing After a Face Neck Lift Thank you for submitting your question. Swelling,lumps and bump can be common after a face lift. It seems that your swelling was caused by a hematoma. At 1 month post op, Warm compresses, massage and external ultrasound by a physician will help it resolve faster. I would not recommend that you use a handheld ultrasound massage unit. Continue close follow up with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Best Wishe

Answer: Complication after a face lift. Facelift surgery is very vascular and blood collections are very common. However, it will resolve on its own. I would not start to manipulated the tissue. Your PS will guild you through the process.
