Very swollen at temples and side jaw areas and more so on my left side. I get lymphatic messages but it seems I am at a standstill now seeing no improvements in swelling. I read often on this site that ultrasound can help. Can someone be more explicit What type of ultrasound do I seek ? Oh and my lower lip on left side also does not move. Very upsetting !!! Please help !

Answer: 8 weeks post deep plane facelift: still very swollen at temples, lower lip does not move on one side You are having prolonged swelling, and at 8 weeks, there will almost certainly be continued improvement, but the pace of resolution will be so gradual that on a day to day basis you will not see anything. Nerve injuries or stretching are rare, and almost all of them recover, but it can take many months. At this point, you may benefit from another opinion to make sure nothing is being missed in terms of efforts to promote recovery.

Answer: Swelling after facelift Postoperative swelling after facelift is typical. After a deep playing facelift it is usually more profound. Had elevation ice and I’m Fattic drainage massage get help dissipate it quicker. However there is a limit to this. I have not found ultrasonic treatments to be particularly effective. Probably the most effective thing to do is giving a short course of steroids.
