Asked By:rosily in Melbourne, AU

I am more lumpy than I was a couple of weeks ago. Both sides but L is worse. I can also pinch a fold of skin above my jawline ( see photos) and I have dents. It feels very lumpy under the skin. I have been massaging daily. Is this normal? I had surgery OS and cannot see my surgeon. Should I get steroid shots? On the plus side I like how I look front on. Any input greatly appreciated. Yes I'm fretting a little as I go back to work soon and I can't hide it with makeup as it's 3D. Thank you.
