Fluid Collecting After Neck Lift - Any Ideas?

February 17, 2011
Asked By:Plymouth4777 in Plymouth

I Had a Neck Lift 9 Weeks Ago and I Have Fluid Collecting Under my Neck. 7 days out I had fluid collecting on the right side of my neck. 2 weeks later I had surgery to correct overactive salivary gland. 3 weeks ago I had hepatitis from the antibiotics I was on for 6 weeks. Now, 9 weeks out, I have fluid collecting under my chin and down the front of my neck. This fluid is drawn out by syringe and is clear. I think my surgeon is baffled by complications this far out. I'm not sure he knows what to do next. What should I do and is this normal?
