Scar Tissue/adhesion Formation After Neck Lift?

June 26, 2013
Asked By:edrio

After 2 neurologists, an MRI, CT & ultrasound it appears that I have a compression neuropathy (due to adhesions/scar tissue growth) post neck lift surgery. The plastic surgeon that performed the surgery is not forthcoming. I have a noose-like sensation that started only in the platysmal area on the rt side and is creeping to left. My surgeon insists he did not use permanent or suspension sutures. I am an MD and am appalled at the lack of help. Any advise as the discomfort is now unbearable.
