Suture granuloma after facelift?

GoducksJan 28, 2018
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?

Bchurchills, Thanks for your question.  You should have had adequate time to heal from your facelift by now, and I think that residual irregularities may need to be revisited.  Please discuss these with your surgeon and ask about a plan to address them.  Also feel free to...
