Had 3 barbed pdo threads on each cheek two days ago. 2 from cheekbone down-one to nasolabial and one to the corner of mouth -and 1 along jawline that came out the other side by my marionette . On one cheek I can see the suture and feel it under the skin when I smile or slightly when not smiling (see pic)Is there a way to massage that spot out or reduce how obvious? Also had ALOT of swelling on right jawline and bruising. Anything to help swelling go down faster besides icing?
