Do I Have Any Options for Improving Bad Temporal Hairline Facelift Scar Placement?

Charlene7
I had a SMAS facelift w/ fat grafting on 5/20/11. I am 2-wks post-surgery. Had immediate swelling/bruising which has subsided but is still present. My primary concern is the placement of the temporal hairline incisions. The scars are thick/lumpy/gathered in a prominent position. Although I have long hair, w/ normal movement my temporal hairline is usually visible. I removed the bandages yesterday and am in shock. My original surgeon is a long distance away. I am in the Los Angeles area.
