Sneezing post neck face lift now swelling and protruding 2 weeks post op, have I compromised anything? (photos)

August 8, 2018
Asked By:li_ca in Sonora, CA

I’m two weeks post op neck and lower face lift. My doctor is out of town so I was looking for advice. I had a sneeze attack and now I have pain and swelling down my neck and one area hurts pretty bad and is protruding. Can you please tell me if it’s possible I pulled the muscles up or compromised the result of the surgery from sneezing or is this just swelling? Please advise as I’m very nervous by this.
