I had a face lift 7 weeks ago. I massage the lumps in my cheeks and face and cause myself pain at the attach sites of my internal sutures. Is this normal? Could my sutures be damaging my soft tissue surrounding the sutures

Answer: Massage after a facelift Good question. I firmly believe in interacting with your healing tissues to speed up the healing process. Massaging the areas after a facelift is a great idea. It is also important for you to feel the feedback your body is giving you. When you massage use the best moisturizer you have and start softly. Massage to the point that you feel a tiny bit of discomfort and no more. Just like when you get a massage and they ask you is this too uncomfortable or is this just right. Have fun helping your body heal and get the results you are looking for.Do not try to get rid of the lumps overnight. Massage slowly and watch for progressive improvement. Pamper yourself or have someone else pamper you face. Enjoy the process. Enjoy the results.

Answer: Pain Thank you for your question. You can perform light massage at this point. You are also still healing. I would give it time, as there is still a healing process going on. Be sure to keep in close communication with your plastic surgeon about any concerns. All the best,
