I had facelift 33 days ago. Followed all instructions, to the "T" 1st 3wks. Couldn't notice edema by POD14 & response was great. POD24-6 went on offroading wkend trip. Didn't realize strain I put on neck. Got home very swollen/tense & it doesn't seem to be getting much better, after po pred x4d, constant support wear, rest, freq ice & elevation. Muscle tension seems worse, edema looks less but doesn't feel better. Could I have permanently compromised results? Will I get POD9 definition back?
At day 33 your neck still looks much better than the preop.
Ask your doc if you can have lymphatic facial massage. Be patient. It looks like all will be well.
but at 112 cheeks return. Except for cheeks, I look best at 109. I plan on a face lift soon with facial fat to cheek area. I'm concerned that if I weight l08 during surgery that my cheeks will look too full if my weight changes a couple of pounds. It is amazing how weight sensitive my face is now - at 61yr. Previously I gained weight uniformly but now upper body is thinner than lower body and the significant flucuating cheek fullness is frustrating and makes me concerned at facelift result.
Facial aging generally involves laxity of skin and muscle as well as volume loss. This is why sometimes fat injections to the face help to add volume and thereby give you more fullness in combination with a facelift. However, how reliably your fat grafts will take is often unpredictable especially if your face changes so much in volume with even slight weight change. A more important factor you may want to discuss with your surgeon is what they plan on doing with your underlying muscle tissue often referred to as the SMAS. I have found that in thinner patients I often do not remove any muscle tissue (called a SMAS-ectomy) and instead do more of a plication on the SMAS to preserve volume which if done in a vertical direction can in and of itself give you reasonable volume in the cheeks. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon and make sure you are on the same page about your concerns. Hope this helps and good luck.
I'm 56 Japanese woman. I would like to remove under eye puffiness and face lift together. Do you recommend Asian specialist Dr or any plastic Dr ? I hear that Asian skin is differ than Western skin. Few my Japanese friends did face lift and eye surgery by Western Dr and they looks not natural looks which I do not want to happen to me. Please advice this matter, thank you.
Your question was about the lower eyelid and a facelift. It is the upper eyelid that has variations which would match your concerns. Regardless of asian or not you are best advised to find the best surgeon you can....
