Do Steroid Injections Help With Face Lifts?
I had a mini face lift January 31. Ps pulled neck too tight. A revision was done he added a stich to save neck lift. Still too tight so 2 week after he cut stiches to release neck lift. But still have mucsle under chin that awe sutured together. I am 7 weeks from last revision. My back and front of ears still swollen and mucle under chin swollen also had lip suction of jaw on jan 31st which iif I touch my neck starts burning. My ps suggested steroid injectin behind ears and under chin to help reduce inflammation. What do you think

hi..in my opinion offcourse the steroid injection will decrease the swelling and inflammation but it should be weighted with the side effect like it will make you prone to infection...local injections will help to reduce swelling in the specific are...steroids have dramatic results in reducing inflammation...hope it will help you in decision...thanks

HI,
Intralesional steroids do help in bringing down the swelling faster. Your plastic surgeon would be the best judge to see how things are settling down and if you need steroids or not.
Another thing you could try is compression garments for the chin and sides along with silicon gel or cream. That would definitely help settle things faster.
Wishing you a speedy recovery
