I am almost 7 weeks post op. from a traditional facelift and DOT laser. I did have liposuction to the bottom of my chin. I did go with a board certified plastic surgeon. He does not seem to be concerned about this but I am having a hard time with having my confidence back. When should I start to be concerned?
