Tags: age 35-44, cheeks, droopy

i am 36. i had my right cheek bone lowered because it was a little bigger than the left one. thats the most regretful thing i have ever done in my whole life. now the soft tissue on my right cheek has dropped a lot to the lower part of the face, making the right cheek look at least 10 years older than the left cheek. my left cheek looks very young, at most 28. so what should i do to correct the mistake now? what kind of face lift is best for me? and i dont want to do it on my left cheek.

Droopy cheek correction.

Without seeing a picture it is hard to say. It sounds like you need a cheeklift done by an experienced cheeklift surgeon. Make sure you meet with live patients the surgeon has done.

Drooping check

Droopy right cheek

If the only problem is your cheek and the neck is not, I'd suggest a cheek lift with a SMAS flap rotated directly superiorly.

Droopy Cheek

Ms China: A cheek lift is probably the best approach. This is the 3rd or 4th separate question I've answered today regarding your cheek. I suggest you submit pictures and ask all your questions at one time so the physicians on RealSelf can better evaluate your problem and provide more accurate recommendations.
