I am experiencing very tight neck and ears and also have noticed some lumps and hard spots along my jawline from the corners of my mouth over the cheek area. I am going on 3 weeks tomorrow and wondering how long the tightness will last along with the hard lumpier areas? I know it takes time, just curious if this is all normal?

Answer: Lumps and Hard spots along jawline after Mini Facelift Dear lee, thank you for your question.Swelling after a facelift may persists from weeks to months, causing bumps or asymmetries to appear. In San Diego, we monitor our patients closely for one year to address any issues. Follow up with your surgeon to check if this is swelling versus something else and if treatment is indicated. Best of Luck.

Answer: Face lift, postop, tightness, lumps There'll be certain degree of healing that'll take place over the next several months. Areas of firmness, tightness and irregularity are not entirely uncommon. Massage and patientce are important. If there are very large areas of irregularity these may be an issue with regards to a reaction to the underlying suture material. The skin will soften over time. However without actually seeing the area it is impossible to see was really going on. I think you need to rediscuss this with the original doctor as well.
