Is it normal to have swollen lymph nodes under jaw after lower face lift?
Answer: Swollen lymph nodes after a #facelift, normal? Thank you for your question.It is possible to have swollen lymph nodes after surgery as there is some healing and inflammation after all types of surgery.Normal lymph nodes can also be more easily palpated after the liposuction that we often performed with facelift and necklift procedures.You could also be feeling internal deeper stitches.That being said, it could also be a sign of infection (throat or skin) and I would quickly visit your plastic surgeon for an assessment and reassurance.Best of luck,Dr. Marc DuPere, Toronto plastic surgeon

Answer: Is it normal to have swollen lymph nodes after lower face lift? Dear Ludmilaag,Swollen lymph nodes could happen after any surgery, and because they are easily palpable in your neck I would not be surprised if you could feel something. That being said it is safest to get a quick confirmation exam from your surgeon to be sure there is nothing else going on and everything feels as expected.Best of luck!

Answer: Swollen Lymph Nodes Swollen lymph nodes can be due to many different things. It is important to have it evaluated by your surgeon to see if it warrants a referral to another specialty or if it is normal postoperative swelling that you are mistaking for a lymph node. Your surgeon should be made aware of any type off swelling which concerns you when you notice it. Unfortunately, without a good history and in-person examination, an accurate recommendation and diagnosis cannot be made.
