Opinions on What is Happening to my Chin Scar - 2nd Surgery Post Op

Swelling and scar under the chin area are major issues post facelift surgery. The healing in sub mental area is very slow causing prolonged edema, in some instances it require steroid injections to reduce the duration of this swelling. 

Based on your photos it appears that you have a excess skin on either side of the scar. This may resolve with time and massage.  Laser tightening (Smartlipo) may also help.

You need to give it time to heal as you are only a few weeks post-surgery.  You might try using vitamine E oil and massage, or you could use a laser to help speed the healing time.
 

As you know from experiencing the healing from your primary lift, there are changes going on for months.  Revisions take even longer, as the surgeon was working on scarred tissue, not virgin tissue.  Ask about massage, silicone containing scar gels and ultrasound treatment.  These things are proven effective.

Dear SecondSurgery,

Scars can take at least 6 months to fully heal.  I have experience with this, as well as photos taken at monthly intervals after closing incisions or cuts on the face.  At 1 month it may look good, at 3 months, it may be darker, but at 6 months, it all resolves and looks great.

Stay optimistic, it's still too early to see if it worked.

Best,
