Lumps 1.5 years after facelift - what can be done about this? (photos)

Question

Hi, about a year and a half ago, I had a deep plane lower facelift. I have these lumps or swollen spots below my cheekbones that aren’t going away. I’ll try to attach a picture. Is there anything I can get done about this?

Gianfranco Frojo, MD · Answer

This is a rather odd location for a bulge. Did they perform fat grafting? This can also be secondary to poor technique with bunching of the deeper tissues. It may be many things...this requires an in-person or digital physical exam. I would recommend finding A REAL PLASTIC SURGEON with experience in facial procedures. This means that the person completed 6-7 years of actual plastic surgery training (not a "facial plastic surgeon"). Best of luck!

I would want to know if you had fat injections in your face which may explain the lumps. Other than that an in person consult would be needed to determine why you have the lump
