Persistent inflammation and intermittent swelling 6 months post facelift

October 11, 2023
Asked By:MumAY1 in Sanger, California

Hello, I had a full deep plane face/necklift in May, with seroma, infection, necrosis and am left with some pretty bad scarring. Not only along incisions but lumps of scar in my neck and face. My Dr. says to accept an move on. I still have a lot of pain an a feeling like inflammation and spasm like pain. I saw another PS, who quoted me 18000 to fix. Is there any way to help pain and healing non surgically? My face also gets puffy and swollen off and on and can feel hard ridges.
