I'm concerned about the lumpy area under my chin after a 2nd surgery from a previous neck lift 10 months ago? (Photo)

Thank you for your question. The lumps you experience are sometimes part of the healing process. It would be helpful to see pictures dating before your surgery as well as before your surgeon moved the fluid. You should expect your surgeon to address your lump area in detail, however, you should make sure to discuss other concerns you may have. Always consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.Best wishes,

Swelling and lumps can persist after liposuction for several months. I suggest treatments such as massage, RF treatments, Venus Legacy and hyperbaric oxygen to drastically reduce swelling. Please follow up with your physician if you have post-operative concerns. This may be a scarred seroma that needs surgical repair. Best, Dr. Emer

In order to give you a good answer, more information would be needed about your original surgery and your second surgery with the type of intervention performed to remove fluid.  The area might need to be reopened depending upon what was done with the second surgery and how the fluid was removed post op.  Its best to ask these questions and follow with your original surgeon.

and must allow swelling and inflammation to subside as what you see now is not what you will get if your surgeon planned the revisions properly.  Try to be patient and trust your surgeon to do everything possible for you.

What needs to be done depends on several factors. First of all, a frontal view and lateral view would be necessary to give a better explanation.How long has it been since your last surgery? What surgery was done?Is this a fluid accumulation, fat or firmness secondary to platysma muscle surgery?A steroid injection may be helpful.  You also may require some additional surgery.  I would definitely go back to see your surgeon .  I'm sure that this can be resolved
