Infected neck lift scars? -10 days post op. (photos)

thank you for your question.  Your incisions look as though they were under heavy tension, and as such will need some extended TLC before they heal completely.  Keeping them clean, maintaining your doctors prescribed post operative regimen, and making sure they are involved in the care is of utmost importance.  As of now, they do not look as though there is any infection, but without a physical exam and being able to see them in person is tough to make a definitive judgement.  That being said, you should absolutely keep your physician up to date with your healing progress as they may need to do some wound care to get you back on the right track.  I hope some of this helps.

Thank you for your question. You should clean your scars diligently to prevent any potential for infection. You are very early in your healing process so rest, hydration and careful cleaning can go a long way to set the stage for the duration of your healing. Please contact your surgeon and make them aware of your healing process. It would be helpful to discuss best recovery practices when you meet in your next appointment. Best wishes,

Keep up with your doctors instructions.  It will take about two weeks or so for these to heal.  They appear to be contaminated wounds, not infected that will heal with local wound care.  Keeping them clean and applying the ointment helps keep them from getting infected.
