I had a mini lower facelift to tighten my jawline and the swelling is so Obvious where the incision lines were above my ears on each side. Its ripples and soft tissue swelling, it makes it look like wrinkles but with fluid in them. I really doctor but they act like it's not visible.. What can be done?
