I Had Lifestyle Lift, I HATE It and Am So Unhappy. What Can I Do To Correct This?

One side of my face looks TOTALLY different than the other. One eye brow looks elevated and the other is droopy as well as the eyelid being droopy. (from botox) How can this be corrected. One of the ears is missing the little thing that connects at the face line. one side looks drawn tight, pulling the corner of my mouth. I look like that crazy Leona Helmsley... The S lift is not even what they said I was getting! I am supposed to get married in a month and I am ready to call it off. Help!

Asymmetry after Botox/facelift

As the swelling continues to resolve, often these differences disappear. If they do not, then you may benefit from a revision. Unless there is a dramatic difference between the sides, I would wait at least one year from the first surgery before attempting to improve the symmetry. The difference in eyebrow height from... more
