Neck/chin Lump 2 Months Post Face-lift? Felt Pop After Sneezing Attack

CarolineX
I'm 2 months post face-lift and have a lump in my chin/neck area that my surgeon 1st said was pooling blood and later said was a salivary gland. There was no gland there before and during a sneezing fit shortly after bandages were removed I felt something snap/pop in that area. Any ideas what might have happened? Also, I am concerned that this could be cancerous and while my surgeon has advised me to wait, I fear that if it is something bad a delay would not be a good thing. Any advice?
