Asked By:Sugarbelle111 in Toronto, ON

I've been quite active on this site thoughout my facelift tecovery since having my surgery 12 weeks ago, but have yet to post. I've uploaded a picture from 4 days after surgery of an infection that developed and took weeks to heal. My question to the community is has anyone else had or seen this type of skin infection? I have not been able to find anyone. 12 weeks post it's healed, however has left behind a couple of raised scars. My PS is working hard to make sure that all looks great in this end.
