Dp facelift 12weeksago. The problematic side developed hematoma. I was taken back to or for evacuation. Later developed a seroma /liquified hematoma on the neck at the same side again. It Was then drained twice. Now at 12 weeks I'm still bruised and lumpy at where the hematoma /seroma was. It looks irregular and feels tight. What bothers me the most is the lumpy fold at the jaw angle, the lump on the neck and the bruise on the neck. Will this improve and resolve itself ?

Answer: Still swollen after facelift. Any options? #facelift #necklift Thank you for your question. I'm sorry you had these complications after your facelift surgery. However, it sounds like your surgeon was able to take care of these and appears that your healing on schedule. At this point, I would continue to be patient as you heal. The irregularities and bruising are not uncommon after a fluid collection under the skin. While he will take some time this should was all on its own. I would be sure to discuss your concerns with your surgeon, and sometimes massage of this area will help.I hope that this helps!–David Gilpin

Answer: Recovery It is so tough to be patient with recovery after facelift, particularly when complicated by a hematoma. It sounds as if your surgeon has done everything right, so you should continue to have confidence in his advice which will always be better than what you get over the internet. You can expect to have some lumps and discoloration and some contour irregularities as your tissue remodels. This can persist for up to a year, but in the picture it does not look unsightly. Take heart, it will all improve in time! Best of luck!!
