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!

Unhappy with Lifestyle lift 3 wks post must look good for wedding in 3 weeks

If Lifestyle lift told you you'd look good enough for wedding pics in 6 weeks that is really pushing it. That being said what can you do. First I would begin a decreasing course of prednisolone (medrol) this always helps and should get you married. Facial endemology has worked also as has ultrasoud therapy. Dont give up get proactive

If these persist beyond 6 months, I suggest that you see a reputable Facial Plastic Surgeon or Plastic Surgeon in your area. I would review this website for... more

Asymmetry after Botox/facelift

During the early period after a face-neck lift (the first 4 weeks), it is common to see differences between each side of the face in terms of swelling, lumpiness, and pulling. 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
