I had an R facelift 88 days ago and these are todays photos. The scars are red and puckered and my ears are still painful. My surgeon says this is normal. He said it was because this is my 2nd facelift. He also told me to go and purchase some scar cream! Do you agree?
I realize its only five weeks, but now that the swellings gone down, I see quite a bit of puckering around the scar under my chin, And weird swelling or protruding platysmal bands. bands tightened during the surgery. No lipo under chin, but he said he manually removed some fat. I am healthy 58 y.o. & I dont smoke. I healed very nicely last year after a breast reduction. I dont want to wait a yr. for revision. It is feasible to revise 8-9 months post op? Will be seeing my dr, about this
And my post-op ear looks very different from my ear before surgery, like a portion of the inner rim was removed. I'm concerned. The PS didn't mention that surgery would change the look of my ear. Would love to hear advice.
I am 5 days post operative after a facelift. All of my pain had subsided until tonight. My incision line goes into my ear and suddenly a point on my incision felt really sore . When I looked, it was quite red inflamed. Is it possible that I have the start of a infection and what can I do tonight until the office opens up in the am. On a side note: I had a considerably amount of skin puckering behind the same ear. Is this going to permanent? Thank you ever so much for your help.
Has first face lift with neck lift almost a year ago. Chin scar did not heal correctly, so 3 weeks ago, I had a revision of the chin scar. A week after surgery, the healing is worse than the first surgery. Can anyone tell me what is going on? Take a look at the pic. At each end of the scar there is like a pucker or a pocket eat end of the scar. Opinions on how to correct this? THANKS for any opinions.
26 days after mid face lift, I have a knot 1 inch in front of rt ear size of small marble.Upper mouth won't move, can't suck or pucker or say words with B or P good.Right eye still not blinking.Is this all same problem?
