Will rope around neck need surgery and how long should I wait to have this corrected? Why do I have a hard rope around my neck? I'm late 60"s and thin. Steroids help or hurt? Does ice, heat or massage help it to dissipate or just make you feel better?

Answer: Rope around neck That is just swelling which accumulates due to gravity. The line of demarcation is where the surgeon stopped his dissection (skin elevation). This will go away in six weeks.

Answer: Rope around neck after face lift I can see why you may be concerned. It is a little tough to answer your question because you didn't mention how long ago you had your facelift. It is common to have some swelling and areas of firmness and induration that gradually soften as you recover from your facelift procedure. As the inflammation subsides and the tissues soften and the collagen remodels, often these contour irregularities can soften and improve. It is important for you to continue following with your surgeon so that if you do need a revision or an intervention, it can be done in a timely fashion. In the mean time, gentle massage over the area of concern can help and steroid injections can often aide in softening scars that have formed and left thickened areas.Oh I am sorry, I just saw that these photos were taken three and 10 days post op. I think that there is a very good chance that these bands will resolve on their own. Yes massage will help soften them nicely. I think you should visit your surgeon and let them take a look as well just to be sure you are on the right path.
