I just had a face liposuction and facelift. After applying ice pack, the swelling has gone down a lot but i notice there are several dents on my left face which made my face looks disfigured. Is there any remedy?

Answer: Post-op facelift Hello and thank you for your question. I recommend that you see your surgeon who can evaluate you in person. In my patients, I recommend massage for any dents or lumps and it generally goes away. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Dents in Face after a Facelift Thanks for your question, its difficult to know what to expect without knowing what type of facelift and when the facelift was done. Often, early after surgery, patients do have some areas like this but they typically resolve. The best is to talk to your surgeon. James Bonaparte

Answer: Facelift Thank you for your question.If you just had a facelift (within a couple of weeks) it is still way to early to evaluate these areas. During the normal course of healing, one should expect areas of lumpiness and irregularity that gradually improve with time. Stay in close contact with your surgeon and let them know your concerns. Finally, if some of this dimpling does persist, there are good options for correction that can be done in the office with minimal downtime.Hope that helps!
