I'm planning a facelift and fat grafting from my body onto my face. Do you think it might be a better idea to do the fat grafting at a later time, once the post-op facelift swelling has gone away? Doing everything together sounds more convenient, but I'm worried that all the swelling after the facelift together with the grafted fat that in worst case may not stay, might stretch the newly tightened skin again and leave the face with some sag even after having these procedures.
I had a full face lift, neck lift and upper and lower blepharoplasty 90 days ago. A lot of the swelling has gone away, I am starting to have feeling back on the sides of the face (although the edges and top of my head are still very numb). I am very concerned with the eye bags that I now have. These were not there before, but now, they get worse as the day goes by. Is this due to swelling still? Or do I now have festoon or malar bags?
I had deep plane facelift in January and swelling is getting worse instead of better, specially in my right neck. I always had swelling since day 1st in my right and some pain at night that supposed to be normal. My general doctor sent me an ultrasound to check my neck glands and the results indicates: at level 2 in the right neck there is a prominent lymph node measuring 2.8*0.7*1.6cm. This retain fatty hilum. There is not cortical thickening. What do you think about it ?
I am 13 days out from my face lift. I realize it will take time for all the swelling to go down but does this look like typical swelling. My face is much wider than it was originally. I do like it better, but I sure hope it thins out.
I am 54 yo lady. I have done my face lift, eyes & neck in October last year and already 3 months now. All going good. I am satisfied and happy with the results. Just I still have a bit swollen/puffy on my cheeks (bottom). My question is: For how long does swollen will be gone and normal again?... Thanks for answer. Mrs HO Australia.
I had an endoscopic brow & cheek lift in Nov 23. In Jan 24 post surgery swelling appeared uniform. In Feb 24 it became more apparent under the eye area creating swollen festoons. Im now 6 months post and it's still VERY swollen. My doctor says its a normal side effect and it'll go by itself in a years time. I tried radio frequency and massages but no improvement. Is this a normal side effect after 6 months or should I be worried? Is there a treatment?

I tried Indiba and massages but no improvement. Is this a normal side effect? Should I be worried? What I can to make it go away? Thank you.
Hello, I had a full deep plane face/necklift in May, with seroma, infection, necrosis and am left with some pretty bad scarring. Not only along incisions but lumps of scar in my neck and face. My Dr. says to accept an move on. I still have a lot of pain an a feeling like inflammation and spasm like pain. I saw another PS, who quoted me 18000 to fix. Is there any way to help pain and healing non surgically? My face also gets puffy and swollen off and on and can feel hard ridges.
Hello, I am 6 months post facelift/neck lift procedure, but my cheeks and neck still swell up and burn, as well as the laser procedure under the eyes. I healed well, and had no issues, but the burning and the swelling never went away. My original surgeon is not able to help, I tried many different steroids, anti-inflammatory drugs, medical laser, ared light therapy. Nothing seems to work and it does not feel like its getting better. I am on Lyrica for the pain 150m x 3 a day. I am losing hope :(
Many people have had extensive swelling and lumps from a deep plane lift. Does smoking have anything to do with this slow process. From roping in the neck to hematomas to lumps appearing a month later. There seems to be huge concerns about this and wanting instant 3 week results. Does it not take 6-12months for the final healing? Are these lumps and bumps just swelling?
