Seroma, edema on neck under my chin? What is this? (Photo)

March 5, 2016
Asked By:arrivederchiroma in Ohio City, OH

Can someone tell me what this is? Seroma, edema? I had a face and neck lift on 1/20/16, and chin and cheeks fat graft on 2/3/16. These was done on another country. This thing under my chin showed up days after the fat grafting when I was already back in the States. I emailed my doctor and he said to massage the area twice per day for ten days but still my skin is not back to normal. Is this something that will resolve with time or should I consult a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist?
