HOW LONG DO LUMPS IN THE NECK LAST AFTER A FULL FACE LIFT?

Dr A’s Answer:
Small lumps in the neck are common after a facelift and typically are felt when rubbing your fingers over them, but not visible or only barely so. There are a number of reasons for them with some requiring treatment, but most are treated only to accelerate their resolution. On their own, these lumps might take a few months to resolve, but with steroid injections can be cut down to a few weeks. Lumps from normal anatomical structures like saliva glands will of course not go away.
