What to to about lingering lumps and bruising 6 months after 'tweak'? (Photos)

March 11, 2023
Asked By:LovelyDay2020

6 months after a tweak to my deep plane facelift to try to correct asymmetry that wasn't addressed on the first go round, having lingering bruising and irregular contours on cheek. I look far worse than when I started.I have done at home massages daily, lymphatic drainage massages & monthly kenalog shots administered by PS, who tells me to stay on plan of shots and at home massage. 6 months seems too long for bruising and I'm worried about this tissue and permanent damage. It is also still numb.

Michael P. Morrissette, DDS, FACS says:

It sounds like you may need a revision procedure on one side. That usually means opening the one side and repeating the procedure but it might be in a limited fashion. In my practice, I will revise a facelift on one side at minimal expense to the patient if the relapse occurs within one year....
