I am 4 Months post-op and in my mid-50's and normal weight. I am concerned as I still have some Swelling, Lumps and Indentations along jawline and under chin and at neck. No defined jawline (Both Sides of Face.) Is this something that will correct itself, or would steroid injections or a revision help me? Thank You

Answer: Unusual lumps under the jawline post #facelift: rule out pre-existing sagging submandibular glands Thank you for your question.I think I see sagging submandibular glands in your pictures.Submandibular glands are glands normally hidden deep and under the jawline but like everything else in the human body, they can sag. They sometimes get addressed during a necklift/facelift procedure but requires experience and knowledge as there is potential for serious bleeding.Thick digastric muscles could also be the cause but those would be almost midline.Large glands can sometimes be treated with Botox.Visit your plastic surgeon and initiate the conversation.Hope this helps!

Answer: Bumps after a facelift Thanks for the question, its always difficult to determine what is happening without seeing you in person, however lumps/bumps are common after a facelift and can take up to a year to fully resolve. Everyone is different, so i suggest you visit your surgeon for some advice.
