Neck lift 6 months ago. Is it too late to start doing lymphatic drainage massage (bumps/uneven skin on neck now)? (Photos)

Hello. 30F, had a deep plane necklift 6 months ago. I never did any LMDs post op (I asked my surgeon and he said it can help but not needed). Comparing my photos today to my immediate post op pics, I can tell it’s not fully recovered yet (immediate post op pics were before swelling kicked in). I also notice some weird texture/lumps/long stretches of skin on my neck that looks odd. Would LMD help with this? Is it too late post op to have any real effects?
