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: 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.

Answer: Neck Results Can Be Tricky I am not at all convinced that those are your salivary glands. I'm going to attach a link below to one of my own cases where you can see the submandibular glands - just so you know the difference. Now, your neck position in the photos is not helping the situation, but I do think that you need to have a frank conversation with your doctor. There are some solutions.And, oh by the way, I just returned from Chicago where the ASPS is having it's annual meeting. Every one of the plastic surgeons on Sundays panel said that when they see submandibular salivary glands, they point them out to the patient, and then REFUSE to touch them. I tend to agree and have been doing just that for the last 14 years.Good Luck!
