Female. Healthy. 55 yrs old. I have not heeled since my neck lift in Jan 2015. As you can see below, in August I noticed visible lymph nodes on right side of neck, my PS disclosed to me, he had complications in the OR w/bleeding and a lot of cauterization on the side where lymph nodes were present. Lymph nodes removed by EMT Oct. 30th. No organisms found only bacteria present. My pain levels have increased post surgery. I'm seeking any advice and desperate to find answers to this rare case.

Thank you for the question and the photos. I agree that you are too young for invasive procedures like facelift or neck lift. However, you do have enlarged and ptotic submandibular glands. Reduction of the volume of the glands can be performed surgically, but only through incisions like those...
Thank you for your question. To provide a valid medical opinion I will need to see pictures of your face from different angles. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
