Today is 14 days after a neck & face lift. The surgeon put sutures in my cheeks and both sides of my neck PIC 1supposedly to pull and get better results. These sutures were removed 3 days post op except for the ones along my hairline which were removed on day 10. I have bands sticking out & thick scarring on both sides of my neck. There's also parts in my neck numb and very hard. Can the bands be fixed and how? What about the scarring?
Answer: Early face lift result Your face looks ok 2 weeks after face lift with exception of those posterior neck bands. You may ask your surgeon to consider plasing similar type of sutures in that area to flatten the fold.. It will improve in time if not addressed but molding it with sutures may be faster and more predictable. Numness is normal and it will gradually subside within 2-4 months both face and neck. Hope this helps.

Answer: Postprocedure folds behind ear the skin behind the ear tends to contract over time. most of the time this will contract on its own, but sometimes an injection of steroid or laser can help. consider consultation with your surgeon about normal healing after surgery with his/her technique.

Answer: Neck bands and “scarring” fourteen days after a face and neck lift Thank you for your query. The folds that you see are probably a result of pleating which most often resolve on their own. The numb and hard areas may be related to the dissection and small amounts of blood. Most of these issues will resolve with the routine postoperative care that your surgeon must have explained to you. However, you should see your Plastic surgeon and have him/her help you with all your concerns. All the best!

Answer: Facelift It's common to experience swelling, bruising, and numbness after a neck and facelift procedure, and it can take several weeks or even months for these symptoms to fully resolve. The appearance of bands and thick scarring on the neck is also not uncommon after surgery, but it's important to follow up with your surgeon to ensure proper healing and to address any concerns you may have.

Answer: Facelift bands You are only 10 days out from a major surgery. This type of surgery requires a lengthy recovery. The surgical incisions look great and this looks like a well performed surgery. Neck bands tend to settle and improve with time. Numbness and induration (hardness) are normal for this surgery. Sometimes small touch-up are performed but I usually wait 6 months.
