after facelift i developed hematoma on both sides. it was milked every day for a couple of weeks. then i developed scar tissues. ibegan conservative steroid injection ultrasound and light massage. the lumps are visibl especially when i smile. but while in massage them, some of them seem to be liquifying but dont reabsorb (some stay hard). my surgeon tried to go in with a needle but nothing comes through. what is that lump tnen? i have a blob of semiliquid stuff on my cheek and dont know what it is.

Hematomas occasionally occur With facelifts. Prompt treatment should allow for near normal recovery. It six weeks there is still sizable inflammation that will improve with time. There's no indication for interventional treatment at the present time.
There are many options for restoration of facial asymmetry after trauma to the facial nerve. Some involve repair of the nerves, some muscle transfers, and some soft tissue readjustment. You need to see a plastic surgeon who commonly deals with this problem.
A Facelift at 20 is really not an option. It looks like you need a filler. Juvederm will soften the appearance of your smile lines around your mouth and cost only $600.00 per syringe however, you may need two. Juvederm lasts up to one year, give or take a few months.Hope this...
