Answer: Scabs can change colors Hello. Your question is a common one. The most important concept when it comes to scabs is to leave the scab alone. Do not pick at it, feel it, or do anything to it that has not been ordered by your doctor. That being said, scabs can have different colors, especially if they get wet or are treated with hydrogen peroxide. The real issue is if the tissue around the scab is swollen, red, irritated or hot. These are warning signs and should be immediately brought to the attention of your surgeon.

Answer: Incisions After Facelift and Necklift Thank you for your question. Please could you provide photos of the concerned area. Unfortunately, with examination is it hard to advise. Please do contact your surgeon so they can suggest their protocol. All The Best

Answer: Recovery after facelift 12 days ago A photograph of the area of concern on your face after your facelift 12 days ago would be helpful to give you the best advice. Bruising frequently will go through color changes including yellow and green. A scab will not necessarily change color but it should improve over time as the healing occurs. I would recommend contacting your surgeon so that you can be evaluated to determine if your healing is progressing as expected.

Answer: Sutures dissolving An assessment by your physician is always important, However what you’re likely describing is a dissolvable stitch. Most dissolvable stitches are clear or clear yellow, as they dissolve the form of yellow crust. This will this will likely flake off with time. At the two week mark your surgeon me lift it off or you.
