Lumps under both my eye lines are still visible & no difference in neck lift - help? (Photos)

Question

Following my surgery in November 2022 i have been left with lumps under both my eye lines are still visible upper eyelids are still hooded and i have a small lump in my left eyelid. At the same time i had a neck lift and there is no difference apart from the muscle is now hanging down on the right side. My surgeon has said it's the way i have healed and expectations are different in different people. Please can someone advice.

It is always very difficult to give advice on the postoperative result without preoperative photos to compare. Lumpiness and irregularities along the incision line (eyelids) may persist for a long time; massage and sometimes injection of corticosteroids may resolve or diminish these scars.  Neck bands are unfortunately frequent after neck surgery (platismoplasty) and revisions are relatively frequent as well. Hope this helps.

Do your left eyelid is not readily visible. Your left upper eyelid appears pleasing. I can see that there is a platysma band in your left neck. If you are thoroughly dissatisfied with your results, it may be worthwhile getting a second opinion from another reputable facial plastic surgeon. If you decide to do this, sometimes it's helpful to bring a copy of your operative report and preoperative photos. I wish you well moving forward. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
