2 LUMPS ON FACE 3 WEEKS AFTER FACE LIFT
DEAR. DOCTOR,
A LITTLE OVER THREE WEEKS AGO I HAD A LOWER FACE LIFT WITH THE USUAL BRUISING, NUMBNESS AND SWELLING. THE BRUISING IS GONE, BUT THE OTHER SYMPTOMS REMAIN. WHAT TROUBLES ME IS THAT, YESTERDAY, I NOTICED A PUFFY BULGE ON THE BONE UNDER MY EYE (NO EYE LIFT); LATER A BUMP/LUMP SHOWED UP ON MY CHEEK ON THE SAME SIDE OF MY FACE. THE LUMP IS SLIGHTLY DISCOLORED. IT THAT A NORMAL PROCESS OF HEALING OR WOULD IT INDICATE A PROBLEM?. MY DOCTOR WON'T RETURN UNTIL TUESDAY. ASIDE FROM THESE LUMPS, ALL SEEMS TO BE ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESONSE.,

THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE. I GOT IN TODAY AND MY DOCTOR SAID HE "DIDN'T KNOW" WHAT IT WAS, BUT FELT IT WASN'T SERIOUS AND WOULD RESOLVE IN TIME... HE GAVE ME A STRANGE LITTLE VIBRATOR TO MESSAGE IT. I DON'T LIKE THE VIBRATOR, ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE A RETINAL WRINKLE AND MANY FLOATERS. IT FEEL THIS WILL JAR MORE LOOSE. ISN'T IT UNUSUAL THAT A SYMPTOM OF THIS TYPE WOULD DEVELOP 3 WEEKS AFTER SURGERY? COULD IT BE A HEMATOMA? DO YOU RECOMMEND MESSAGE WITH, OR WITHOUT, THE VIBRATOR? I'M GOING OUT OF TOWN FOR A MONTH AND THIS REALLY CONCERNS ME.

Three weeks is quite early after a major facelift procedure. Puffiness and bumps are not uncommon aft this time. I am sure your doctor will reassure you about this.
