Lumps That Persist After Facelift and Neck Lift

What you are describing seems to be small pockets of dry blood that have persisted after your fast lift surgery. They will soften over time with warm pad and massage. In some instances injection of Kenalog into the lumps will facilitate their resolution. Regarding your skin sensitivity, talk to your surgeon or a dermatologist for a different brand of sun screen.

Generally speaking, it can take 6 to 12 months to completely heal after surgery. Please keep in touch with your surgeon or his/her clinical team to discuss your ongoing concerns.

This can be either fat necrosis or small hematomas, IF they have been replaced with scar tissue there is little that can be done to eliminate these other than excising them. Injection of steroids may be done at the discretion of the surgeon. However, at 11 weeks, it is still somewhat early and they improve by 6 months. Try using a hypoallergenic pediatric sunscreen with micronized zinc oxide rather than a chemical sunscreen.

These could be hematomas and you can give them more time to resolve. If they feel fluctuant, your plastic surgeon could aspirate them. Skin irritation after facial surgery is not uncommon and should resolve. You may want to try a gentler sunscreen; ask your plastic surgeon or a dermatologist what products they might recommend for you

Let your surgeon evaluate you, If it is fluid, he can aspirate it. As  for skin sensitivity talk with him about his preferred products.

The lumps are probably secondary to small hematomas which usually resolve, even 11 weeks after surgery.  Massage and/or ultrasound treatments may help. As normal sensation returns skin can be sensitive. Talk to your dermatologist or plastic surgeon about using a different sunscreen.

Hi.

It sounds like these could be tiny hematomas.  They can usually be aspirated in about two weeks when they liquefy.  After 11 weeks, they may already have become internal scar tissue.  Harder to treat.
