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

LovelyDay2020Mar 11, 2023
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.
