Suture granuloma after facelift?

Question

Hi! I had dpfl 6months ago and developed hematoma(evacuated). At 5months I still had tethered firm areas infront of ear from cheek to jaw.Doc saw this contracture so he injected 5 fu. Now 1 months later I have alot relief.But there's 1 spot behind jaw angle under ear.This spot isn't as tender as before injection but didn't get as much improvement(lump contour wise)as the rest.I know there's a nylon suture around there. Can this be a suture issue or this area has more scar tissue? How to fix it?

Dear Goducks,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice. Daniel Barrett, MD

Thank you for your question.If you have such a question then in my view it is best to go and see your surgeon. Only him alone knows what was done during surgery and if I suggested any possible causes for your symptoms that would be pure conjecture.Hope all works out well for you.Kind regards.

Hi
   Would it be possible to send some pictures? It is difficult to know what you are dealing with from just a verbal description. It could be scarring, a stitch issue or infection after hematoma.

Good Luck
