9 months post op mini facelift and necklift and still swollen and some numbness? (Photo)

March 6, 2024
Asked By:mia5k in Texas

I had a mini face & neck lift 9 months ago, and still have swelling and pain in my neck, my ear and head (left side), and around my jawline. Some numbness and warmth around my jawline and left cheek and tinny pimples. Tightness under the jawline. Bruise on the neck. Doctor had twice injected steroids (last one on 04/03/24) on the left side of my neck. I have not seen significant improvement so far. I have permanent internal stitches. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
