See pictures. This area looks much worse now than it did 2 weeks after surgery (except that the bruising is gone). Will this area soften/relax? I'm very self-conscious about it. From a profile view, there isn't much improvement from a pre-surgery profile view. I'm 60 years old. I've been massaging gently twice a day with cocoa butter per PS's instructions. My last checkup was at 3 months. She thinks everything looks fine. I'm not scheduled to see her again until month 7. Thanks in advance.
Answer: Revision neck/face lift Thank you for your question and for attaching photos. It certainly does appear you will need a revision, however I would wait another 2 months (6 months from surgery) to do the revision. You probably had some excess fluid after surgery and this combined with the scar tissue has left this area that needs to be corrected. Best of luck.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Neck Pleating 4 Months After Neck Lift I am sorry to read of your concern. It would be helpful to know more about the surgical techniques applied during the procedures as you may benefit from additional treatment to better correct your concern. Nevertheless, it's best to wait at least 6 to 12 months depending on the reason for a #revision. Though recovery from such procedures varies from person to person, patients are generally presentable within three weeks from surgery. Also, wearing a #compression garment may be suggested the first week and then nightly for up to six weeks. Your incisions will go through many changes before seeing the final result of your procedure. Swelling will also continue to diminish.Thus, you must be patient. The #scars from a #neck lift mature within six to twelve months from the surgery date. It is during this time that the rejuvenating effects of the procedure will become apparent and the real result will be seen. If during your healing, you have any concerns, it is suggested to call your board-certified surgeon or their medical staff and discuss those #concerns

Answer: Scar contracture and adhesions Its best to wait at least 6 months after surgery before considering any revision. You can see adhesions like this after a fluid collection. Because it is more apparent with an upward tilt, it might be within the muscle as well. A revision might be necessary.
