Thoughts About Having Cosmetic Surgery (Face Lift) at a Residency Program?

Thoughts About Having Cosmetic Surgery (Face Lift) at a Residency Program?
A: Facelift in a residency program We all got our start as plastic surgeons performing procedures in the clinic. That said, the programs are no longer giving it away for free and you have to weigh the reduced costs against having an inexperienced surgeon, although under supervision. I see many patients who have gone this route and are then disturbed or surprised when the doctor who has operated on them is no longer accessible--because he or she has moved away to go into private practice.

Revision Facelift to Lift Above Tragus? One Side Is Drooping Down 1 Year Post Op.

After a facelift 1 year ago, I feel that the right side needs more lifting to match the left. That side seems to be falling and not supporting my mouth as much, and as the FL falls, my teeth are hitting together too much. If I lift at the top of the tragus, it feels normal and matches the left side. Can a revision facelift lift from this area only? Would this be a minor or major revision? Is this unusual to have this difference in upward pull at that location? Thank you.
A: Facelift - Revision Facelift to Lift Above Tragus?

It's unusual to have your bite changed by a facelift...so you should, first of all, be assessed by your dentist.  Whatever that issue is needs to be resolved before considering any additional surgery.

Once that is settled you can consider having something done to tighten/adjust the right side.  It may or may not be that simple; sometimes a little skin can be excised and the area tightened.  But if you need more than a small amount done then it can, paradoxically, be a more extensive procedure.  That's because you need to make sure that there is the most minimal degree - if any - of tension on any of the incision sites.

Asymmetry, both in general and specifically with respect to the face, is common.  Simply achieving perfect symmetry is neither possible in the greater scheme, nor something that should be aimed for...it's just asking too much.  So if it's a slight degree of asymmetry I suspect that it will be better to leave it alone.  If there is a greater degree of symmetry then it may be worth addressing.

Either way, you should discuss this with your plastic surgeon, and work out a plan that is acceptable to both of you.

I hope that this helps, and good luck,

What Can Be Done About Cheek Asymmetry After Mid-face Lift with Fat Grafting?

At 11-days post-surgery, I developed a hematoma on my right cheek. Due to the hematoma, my R cheek felt rigid. Massage has helped to soften the tissue. Now 5-weeks post-surgery, I still have some lumps/bruising. My L cheek is plumper vs. my R. Did the hematoma cause lower fat "take"? Before the fat completes the process of developing a blood supply, is there anything to be done to lower the viability on the L (for symmetry)? I don't want to go through any future fat grafting procedures.
A: Facelift - What Can Be Done About Cheek Asymmetry After Mid-face Lift with Fat Grafting?

It's all in the timing. 

At 5 weeks post-op, it is still much too early for you to consider a revision - and I don't know of a way to "increase" the take after a fat graft at any time.  Bruising is, as noted elsewhere, common with surgery, with facelifts and with a mid-facelift.

I think that, at this point, you need to continue to let the surgery resolve on its own.  And, of course, stay in touch with your surgeon.

I hope that this helps and good luck,

Dr. E
