today marks day 10 of my mid deep place facelift. Alternate Stitches were taken out day 5 and the remaining removed day 7. Approx 90% of swelling has subsided. Left tissue dermal shaved alot and drapped over tragus to achieve more natural area doc said. Healing well. No swelling nor pain. Face slowly getting sensation/ tingling. Hardness subsiding fairly quickly Im worried about the right side (arrow) dark shadow progressively gets darker. It this a concern? Is it Necrosis? Im scared!

Answer: Healing from deep plane facelift. Thank you for sharing your photos and questions. Based on the view provided from your photos, it appears that you are healing nicely. You likely had a small amount of superficial skin sloughing over the tragus that has resolved nicely. I don't see any evidence of impending superficial skin necrosis currently. Continue to observe strictly the activity limitations and postoperative care provided by your surgeon so you can be sure you do your part to ensure the best result possible.

Answer: Skin Shadows after Deep Plane Facelift After reviewing your photograph I feel that you are healing appropriately without signs of skin necrosis. Your incisions are coming along well. Stay in close touch with your surgeon; he did a fine job.

Answer: Area of concern post facelift Hello! Your tragal skin does look dusky and possibly crusted. You should discuss this with your surgeon. Even if it IS necrotic, it is likely to heal without intervention into an acceptable scar due to the location but again, discuss with your surgeon. Good luck!
