Will these indents and lumps disappear? (photos)

Question

Although its only been five days post surgery from my 5 point silhouette thread lift, with a suture at each side of my hairline. I am looking at some photographs on this site and none of these people seem to have these indents and lumps straight after surgery that I have. I am worrying, is this normal? Thank you for your time in replying to me.

Some patients will experience bruising, swelling and lumps after thread lifts. Some those in your picture appear to be where the skin has been pulled and lifted tightly.  There is possibly a haematoma as well which is bleeding that has occurred under the skin. This can result in fullness particularly around your jawline although the photos are difficult to interpret.  I would normally say it can take about 2 weeks or more for this to settle. I would recommend a review by your surgeon in person to discuss things.

Hi! 
How are you? I just came across your question on RealSelf and I am curious if your dimpling resolved? If so, how long did it take to heal? 
Thank you!

It looks like your threads have been put too superficially. I have inserted 100's of threads and never saw that kind of result. Hopefully it is just swelling and your skin will look more flat in a few days.

Thank you for your question and photos.
It is not uncommon for patients to experience minor swelling/inflammation and even skin puckering at the point of entry with the threadlift procedure.
These do commonly self resolve over a few days post treatment.
If any of the adverse effects worsen or any pain develops, please follow up with your practitioner as soon as possible.
I recommend that you consult with an experienced and highly trained practitioner.
Best wishes.
