I have read extensively about the MFLs and FLs but doctors and I do not think I'd really benefit from the "standard" techniques. I'm 32 but have extra skin in the mouth area that form "pouches" or folds. There is no fat to remove. If I pinch my skin up by my sideburn, this alleviates the problem entirely. So I wonder if a skin-only lift could be done, with the scar in this region (see image). I don't think I need subperiosteal dissection - and doubt I'd benefit from standard MFL techniques.
In general, the farther away a deformity is from the incision, the less effect any surgery will have on the problem. Your specific issue is in an area rarely directly lifted or tightened by any kind of facelift. The pull of the skin in any surgery progressively diminishes as the distance to the problem grows, despite what you see when you pinch your skin. You will be disappointed with the results in an extended surgery, and there is a high possibility of injury to the nerves which move the lips.
I feel like I'm wearing a clay mask and it's been a year since my face/neck lift.
The idea behind tissue glues after a facelift is to reduce swelling and bleeding under the skin raised and lifted to speed recovery, and reduce complications. The glues are 'biologic' and disappear during the healing process and therefore will not cause any change in the sensation of the cheeks. Our patients recover sensation by three months.

ten months after facelift right eye still unable to blink involuntarily.Am using drops and ointment at night since eye does not stay closed at night. I am 67 years old, dr says should wait for 2 more months since I have shown improvement over facial palsy I had on right side..Last 2 months showed improvement on cheek and mouth but right eye still a problem. What would you recommend? I can provide a photo,is there anyway to send a video of eye blinking since that would show problem.
Weakness in the cheek and lid after facelift suggests an injury to the facial nerve. The facial nerve lies deep in the cheek and injury is very uncommon. The recovery in the cheek is very encouraging and a longer wait will probably be beneficial. Keep up with the ointment and taping of the affected eye to protect it from dryness or abrasion.
