Hardening and lump after hematoma evacuation on cheeks following a facelift. Will this go away?
angelxoxoxoFeb 2, 2014
2 1/2 weeks post op. i developed hematoma day after a facelift. blood was drained for ten days (it was serum mixed with blood at the end). my face would appear thinner after drainage (my face is thin). they stopped draining because (no more fluid). however, days later the sides of my face hardened and my face is now thicker and lumpy where the hematoma/seroma was. so at 2. 1/2 wks. it looks worse! the two lumps at the side of each cheek make my face look thick. no bruising.. help!
