I had face lift 3 weeks ago. 5 days ago i noticed tiny pimples starting from my scars and spreading further all over the face. I never got something like this before and my diet and lifestyle remain the same. Its getting more and more. Some of them white. J am really upset. If somebody can give good advise i will be really grateful. Thank you very much

Answer: Facelift breakout Hello,This type of breakout could be an acne breakout, a viral breakout, or even a more serious infection. The skin in the picture looks quite red and inflamed. I would recommend getting in to see you physician as soon as possible in case antibiotic therapy is needed. Good luck!

Answer: Acne / Pimples after Facelift Sometimes an outbreak of acne occurs following a facelift operation, especially in younger patients that have sebaceous, oily skin. Inflammation of the skin can stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce more sebum, while the bandages and occlusive ointments used around the time of surgery can block pores. If you are older than 30-35, however, it is more likely that you have an Acneiform eruption. Acneiform reactions are a variety of skin conditions that strongly resemble acne except the lesions are more uniform in nature. They are often caused by infection, rosacea, hormonal abnormalities, and certain medications. I would return to your surgeon to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
