Neck-lift Complication: What is This Frontal Neck Lump? Why Isn't It Resolving After 2 Cortisone Shots? (photo)

I would agree with my colleagues that this is unusual. I did have one patient present to me for a second opinion for a related issue and found that the chin implant had migrated but this is incredibly rare, especially after liposuction as opposed to a necklift. After liposuction there isn't a whole lot of room in which the implant could migrate. I would pursue a second opinion and possibly an imaging study to determine exactly what the lump is and how to proceed. I hope this is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

After reviewing your photos, it is hard to say what the neck lump is due to. Certainly it's hard to say definitively what is going on without an examination. Whether a second opinion is worthwhile depends on what your current surgeon's plan is. Imaging with an ultrasound or other type of x-ray may be useful.

Frontal neck lump after liposuction of the neck is something I have never seen in 35 years of liposuction. Get a second opinion from an experienced surgeon.
