I had a Face lift and neck lift in Sep 2013. healing took a very long time. I am now left with this. Can anything be done??
Answer: Doubt you problem is due to salivary gland enlargement. I really don't think the aesthetic problem of the neck is related to enlarged salivary glands.I think a surgical revision should give you an excellent result. Facelifts almost always leave an excellent neck.

Answer: Management of prominent salivary glands after facelift surgery Thank you for your picture and question.In your case, the submandibular salivary glands were probably camouflaged by the jowls and excess skin. After surgery and after the swelling came down, the glands "revealedl" themselves.A lot of the answers on this thread had recommended that you direct your question back to your plastic surgeon.I have found that botox injections can help to atrophy the gland and make it less prominent, thereby helping to further define the jaw-line.I hope this helps.- Dr. Bryson G.

Answer: Mid-Face Lift Thanks for the question. First 24-48 hours after the operation face will be swelling. After 48 hours swelling will be decreases. Scalp area stitches are taken from the day 10. Final results may take 1 month. Patients can return to work after 1 week. The effect of gravity varies according to the aging speed and lifestyle but it provides an average permanent effect of 10 years. I wish you all the best.

Answer: Large Tissue Under Jawlines Large submandibular glands poses achallenge post face and neck lift. It can protrude and cause irregular shapeunder the jawlines. In the past surgeons removed part of this gland to reducethe size of it. Injection of Botox can reduce the size of these glands afterfacelift surgery.

Answer: Prominent Neck Pouches after Facelift First off, a thorough examination is necessary to determine the exact origin of these prominent pouches. Treatment needs to be based on the diagnosis from this exam but would require re-sculpting the neck region, most likely including fat excess and possibly gland reduction if they are involved.
