12 weeks post facelift still bruised and swollen, 3 months post-op. (Photo)

November 10, 2017
Asked By:Goducks in Las Vegas, Nevada

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 ?
