How long can it be until lumps, divots and swelling subside from a facelift? I'm at 7 months and still plagued by these.

Asked By:RSMember5783 in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL

I had a deep plane lower face and neck lift and developed significant fibrosis, lumps, divots and swelling throughout the cheeks. Its been 7 months. Ive had ultrasound for the fibrosis and Lymphatic massage for swelling...I still am not healing well enough to feel comfortable socially.
