The facelift was two years ago. On one cheek, just below my cheekbone and along the path of the lift, a hollow channel has been inching toward the center of my face. The doctor has assured me that this was not a thread lift. The hollow is about 1.25" in width. The skin above it is taut and looks lifeless. The hollow keeps lengthening and it looks awful. What could be happening? And can anything be done to stop it and/or correct it?
Although a photo would have been helpful, it sounds as if you have had some fat re-absorption in this area. As mentioned, some doctors utilize liposuction in the cheek area and after the post-operative swelling has subsided, then an area that was too aggressively treated may become noticeable. It also could be related to just how the skin was re-positioned. If you need replacement of volume, then I would recommend either Scultra, which may take several injections, but is quite appropriate for this location, or a fat grafting.
Is the healing time different btwn a deep plane and a smas lift?
What do you mean by healing? Do you mean time off work or when no one will notice you have had facial surgery or when you can attend a family gathering without raising suspicion? Healing time varies with the procedure you undergo and how it is performed. You should be more concerned about the results not how you got there. A deep plane lift is known to have more prolonges swelling but if the result is better does it really matter.
