Had suture suspension of neck 2 months ago; bump in center of neck and have a painful bump behind right ear, is this normal?

hello dd glickman Sorry about the pain, you should contact or visit your PS about this concern. #pain #normal

Permanent sutures used for neck lift are usually palpable in a thin neck. Dissolvable sutures will eventually dissolve. Check with your plastic surgeon as to what type of sutures were used. If the area is painful and red they could be dissolving causing a reaction. A steroid injection can cause a swollen area to reduce in size. I would not use steroids if there is evidence of an active infection. Good luck....

The lumps can be scar tissue around the area of sutures. These usually get better with massage and sometimes steroid injections. In the worst case the bump can be surgically removed. RegardsDr. Janjua
