Bumps and lumps are a normal part of the healing process after facelift. These areas should reduce over time and blend seemlessly.
Some degree of firmness or lumpiness under the skin is normal after surgery and will resolve with time. Local #massage of the areas may accelerate the resolution of this problem, which normally takes 2-4 months to disappear completely.The marks from a facelift can easily hidden with “camouflage” make-up which you can learn how to apply. The scars from a facelift mature within six to twelve months from the surgery date. It is during this time that the rejuvenating effects of the facelift will become apparent and the real result will be seen. If you have certain concerns about the procedures and #healing process, it is recommended to call your board-certified surgeon or their medical staff and discuss those #concerns.
It's very common to feel "bumps" behind the earlobe after your face/neck lift surgery. Most of the time, these are stitching placed along the incision. Most of the stitching are either removed by surgeon or will reabsorb with time. You can also expect some skin reaction to the sutures and it's quite prominent at about 3 to 6 weeks post op. Make sure your are healing well and recovering as expected. Best Wishes,
Thanks for your question - As the other surgeons mentioned you are likely feeling some suture. But you may also be feeling some bunching or gathering of the skin. Not to worry this usually goes away after a few months too. Be sure you stay in close contact with your plastic surgeon.
Yes, it is totally normal to feel bumps behind your ears early after surgery. They are probably the stitches that will dissolve over the next couple of months. Keep in contact with your surgeon who will be best able to guide you during this post op period.
