I Would Like to Know the Risks and Possible Side Effects of Having Facetite.

I am considering having facetite. I would like to know if it is safe and what the risks and possible side effects are.

A: Facetite Procedure

The main risks are some bleeding, scarring, and a possibility of nerve injury but that when performed properly, can be a worthwhile procedure.

What Can I Do for a Facelift That was Made too Tight?

I had facelift procedure almost one year ago and the results are too tight in my connective tissue. I have tried massage, acupuncture, electro-stimulation, high-volt current, ultrasound, and reiki. Moist heat gives some relief and some mobility. I am living in constant torture due to constriction inside my skin, that grips my mind as well. Pain is slight, discomfort is extreme. Right ear still numb. Thank you for any advice you can give me.

A: Too-Tight Facelift

Well, the numbness is something that may never completely return, if the small nerve to the ear got transected.  As far as your tight skin, there is, to my knowledge, not much that can be done, other than to give things time.

What is Your Opinion on Marionette Fold Excision?

I have recently had a partial facelift that unfortunately did not correct my marionette folds. I have had filler in the past which also did not adequately reduce/correct these. I am considering having these folds excised. I realize that there is much controversy surrounding this procedure due to the issue of scarring. In my mind I would trade a small likely imperceptible scar for obvious and glaring marionette folds. I would appreciate any input. Thanks so much.

A: Scarring Risk in Marionette Lines

Very simple-  in my experience, I would not excise the marionette lines, either directly or with a lateral corner lift lip, due to the risk of scarring.
