Face lift incision looks very bumpy and skin seems "bunched up" together? (Photos)

Thanks so much for reaching out. It is absolutely normal for the skin to be bunched up this early after facelift procedure. This will usually smooth out and settle down within the first few months after surgery.  The scars will also change in color from red to pale.I hope this helps :-)

The bunching up in the temple area was done in order not to extend your incision too high up the temple. Furthermore, during the early postoperative period, the skin and soft tissue is swollen including the temple area that you are referring to. Most of this will settle within 6-8 weeks, and a dramatic difference should be noticed within a few months time. Follow up with your plastic surgeon during  the healing phase and discuss any concerns you may have with your surgeon.

Thank you for your question and photos. Incisions often appear raised or bunched following surgery due to swelling. In the early postoperative period it is best to be patient and to have close follow up with your surgeon so he/she can walk you through the healing process. I would recommend following up with your surgeon to discuss your concerns. Best of luck.
