Can a Lower-lid Retraction Be Improved by Performing a Mid-face Lift Through the Mouth? Could a mid-face lift by performed via the mouth in order to correct lower lid retraction by providing support -- and possibly increase volume of my hollow cheek area? Any additional eye lid cutting is a concern because I already had a blepharoplasty and canthopexy.

A: Midface life through the mouth

Yes and yes. The trans-oral approach is a great one and this mid-face lift can support he lower eyelid complex. Can't tell you much more than that without a little surgical history and a photo. I'll still need some suspension of the mid-face complex once it's elevated through the mouth and that can be done without cutting the lower eyelid skin. It can be done via an upper lid incision or the temporal hair tuft.

Best of luck

Swelling Supraclavicular Area 7 Months Post- Lower Facelift I am 7 months postop lower facelift. I still have an area of soft, "puffiness" above each clavicle, but more pronounced over the left one. It tends to increase with activity during the day, and recedes at night. Is this a probable lymph drainage issue?

A: Unusual this late

If you are a healthy person (no diabetes, or other systemic illness) this is unusual, especially this low in the neck. Yes, tissue fluid drains down and it could be simply lymph fluid that is still trying to find a new drainage pathway as invariably, surgery does disrupt some lymphatic channels. However, this many months out from surgery these changes should have resolved themselves, so go see your surgeon to have the area inspected/examined. It might help to take some photos of the areas when they are swollen and when they are not to help him/her identify the extent of the issues.

Good luck!
