Scars Thick and Red 6 Months After Face and Neck Lift?

It would help to see photos of your scars to give you the best advice. In general, scars will respond best to the following:

1) Steroid treatment
2) Scar revision
3) Laser treatment

The best option for you can be determined during an in-person consult, and I would recommend speaking with your surgeon. I hope this helps, and best of luck to you.

Ideally, a facelift wound should be closed under zero tension - your description of your scar quality makes me think that your wounds may have been closed under some tension with resultant scar thickness, redness etc. I find scar massage to be an effective means of improving scar quality. There are some good You Tube videos on scar massage.

Thick scars are usually from tension on the incision at the time of healing.  Your current treatment is appropriate.  If these scars are still thick and raised at one year then a secondary excision and closure NOT under tension may yield better scars.
