I Had the Endotine Mid Face Lift 6 Weeks Ago and my Left Cheek is Still Very Swollen, What Should I Do? (photo)

Hi everyone and thanks in advance for your replies. I had the endotine mid face/cheek lift 6 weeks ago. The swelling on my right cheek went down pretty quickly but my left cheek is still very swollen and feels tight. It looks like I have a golf ball on my cheek. Can this happen? is this normal and can anyone recommend anything that will help? I want it gone because the right side looks great.I saw my surgeon at 4 weeks pop and he recommended lymphatic drainage but not seen any change.I'm 32.

A: One sided facial swelling 6 weeks after Endotine facelift.

After a facelift there are a few common things which can cause one sided swelling, such as, collection of blood, collection of other fluid (seroma), bunching of the tissues due to the sutures, and deep infection.  Your surgeon is in the best position to see, examine and diagnose this concern.  Close follow up with your surgeon is your best course to get this resolved.

Will a Facelift Result Be Affected by a Skeletal Defect?

Hi i have a skeletal and dental defect which are both 2mm to the left will that affect the result of a facelift?

A: Facelifting with a small skeletal defect.

It is unlikely that a small defect such that you mentioned would affect the out come of your facelift.  Many small asymmetries can be masked during a facelift with the re-draping of the skin or the skeletal defects could be corrected at the same time.   Your plastic surgeon should be able to best address this after an exam.
