It has been six weeks since my facelift and fat transfer. I have some lumps/bumps in my lower cheeks where fat was deposited, and my neck is still bumpy, too. What is most concerning me is that on the right side I have a "joker line"... sort of a tight tug. I used a very well-known board-certified cosmetic surgeon... is this common at 6 weeks... and will it relax and look less surgery-like as time goes on. I'm 53, and never had any facial surgery before. I feel like I look "worked-on."
In general, healing after a facelift requires 2 weeks unless you have other procedures done including a TCA peel or laser which can add an additional week. In general, my patients can be back to work in 10-14 days. This is something that needs to be discussed pre-operatively with the and not post operatively.
Is it safe to use someone who is not Board Certified for a face lift and what is your opinion of using the Lifestyle Lift procedure?
Being Board Certified with the American Board of Plastic Surgery is the standard for finding a fully trained plastic surgeon that performs plastic surgery on both the face and body. Unfortunately, in the United States any licensed MD can perform any type of procedure they desire if they are licensed in that specific state. Plastic surgery has become the “buyer beware specialty” so choose your surgeon wisely. Finding a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery or a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is the main goal.
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.
Dear Adam,
The incision pattern you have drawn is a common / known variant of facelift incisions, but it is normally not the first choice. First off, you are rather young and have minimal signs of facial aging to justify the risks / scars of a facelift. (I'd advise waiting.) Normally for a first facelift, incisions are designed in front of the ear and then go up into the hair directly above the ear. This minimizes the possible "visible" portions of the scar (you cannot be sure how you will heal, and it is nice if the visible scar region is short in case you happen to get a bad scar). Because you want to maintain your sideburn, this incision choice does limit how much upper facial skin can be removed. If you know you scar well, when it is time for a secondary face lift, one can design the incision as you have shown to address facial laxity near the eye. Don't do it as a first choice - just imagine getting a hypertrophic scar in the region you have shown! It would plague you daily for a year or two...
Dr.B
