Answer: Looks Like a Seroma A seroma is a straw colored fluid that accumulates in a surgical space like a neck lift. The fluid may absorb slowly but aspiration or drainage can allow it to heal much faster. In my experience many seromas need to be drained multiple times and the more frequently it is drained, the faster it will resolve.Seek out a plastic surgeon in your neck of the woods and it will certainly be taken care of properly.

Answer: Swelling Under Chin After Facelift A plastic surgeon should not need to order an ultrasound to see if there is blood or fluid in a persistent area of swelling after a facelift. Instead, needle aspiration is both diagnostic and therapeutic. The skin is cleansed with an antiseptic and, after a small injection of local anesthetic, a needle attached to a syringe is introduced into the area of concern. The stopper on the syringe is pulled back and any blood or fluid in the area will be drawn into the syringe. After aspiration, a pressure dressing is typically applied for a day or two.Although it is always preferred to have your original surgeon continue to treat you in the post-operative period, a general surgeon in your area should have the know-how to aspirate under your chin.
