Is it normal for skin to feel like leather, and firm in places following a facelift ?

It is not unusual to have areas of your face that feel hard after any kind of facial rejivenation, be it a facelift, necklift, or neck liposuction. This is because there is an inflammatory response that dissipates at different rates in different people. Assuming that other issues,infection or a retained foreign body for example have been ruled out, induration or that firm, leathery feeling can persist for as long a 5-7 months.
