Asked By:petaross in London, GB

I had fl, nl & platysmaplasty 3.5 months ago. Had hematoma in neck which ps said didn't need treatment (other than massage after 3 wks) & would "resolve" by itself. No timescale given. Neck was swollen with hard lumps. Lumps have since softened, but neck still looks & feels horrible. Swelling comes & goes, sometimes firm, sometimes soft & "flabby", with double-chin. Sometimes really tender. Are the blood clots still there? What is the swelling? Is it inflamed? Will there be internal scar tissue?
