two weeks post op facelift and neck lift. Is it possible I may have a mild infection in this incision, and will washing with hibiclens and applying neosporin help? I have another appointment with my PS next week.

Answer: Always contact your surgeon with concerns of infection If you are concerned about anything, it is always best to contact your surgeon or surgeon's representative (nurse, assistant) as soon as possible. Although you may not have an infection, if you do, catching it early on is of great importance and will allow your surgeon to manage it quickly and effectively.

Answer: Infection after a facelift Infection after a facelift It is extremely uncommon to develop an infection after a facelift. From your photo it appears that you have some superficial desquamation, mild skin loss. This should heal uneventfully. See your plastic surgeon for proper care.
