Asked By:surgerytal in Manhattan, NY

Hematoma occurred later in day. Re-operated on, with extensive cauterization on cheek & neck. Hematoma originated in neck. Then re-sewn. Still have AWFUL looking bumps/long line that are firm yet slighlty soft. Originally thought to be seroma but no fluid emerged after aspiration. Then told it was the muscle from being pulled tight. 2nd in person opinion stated due to cauterization and said DONT TOUCH, and will go away after 3 months. Online doctors said to massage. WORRIED! Will it go? When?
