I’m 39, had under chin liposuction, FaceTite & Morpheus8 3 weeks ago with a board certified surgeon. I had tight skin but had stubborn fat since forever. Things are getting worst only this week, no bruising or swelling now. No difference than before but I have saggy skin now I didn't have before, dimpling, and hard horizontal lump on my neck after the procedures. I didn't want to do necklift & I am not ready to do it now, what else can I do? I really feel overwhelmed &I look very old now.

Answer: 3 weeks after surgery Thank you for your photos. 3 weeks is still quite early during the healing process. It is normal to have lumps and bumps and areas which feel very firm and tight during this post-operative period. They will continue to smooth, soften, and even out over the next several weeks. I would wait at least 3 to 6 months before determining if you actually have a contour deformity or not. Hope this helps! Johnson C. Lee, MD Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Neck swelling after procedures This is called induration and is frequently seen after manipulation of the neck. It is not abnormal and is worst at about 4-6 wks after a procedure. Its frequently caused by blood in the tissues. Very low dose steroid injections might help. It tends to get better with time. Talk with your doctor.
