Neck Lift - 8 Weeks Post Op - Still Have Thick Tissue Under Chin
vwbusmamaAug 13, 2010
I am 8 weeks post op after having a neck lift with platysmaplasty. I had a lot of fluid build up in the center of my neck after surgery and the doctor shot steroids into it twice. I still have a lot of thick tissue under my jawline. It is especially apparent when I look upwards. I have been massaging it but it doesn't seem to get better. I'm concerned because everything I read from the doctors seems to suggest that healing is complete after 2-4 weeks. Can this thickening be permanent?
