Are my Slanty Eyes After Midface Lift Permanent?
Hi, I had a midface lift two months ago and now I look like a cat. I am only 33 but wanted to correct the droopyness on one side of my face caused by an injury in my childhood. I had a deep nasolabial fold on that side (still do), but I liked the other side of my face. My PS insisted I have a midface on both sides. Now when I smile my eyes slant upward and get small and beady and I get two deep creases under each eye. Will this go away? I don't smile anymore b/c I look like a freak when I do.

Cat like eyes are not usual after a midface lift and will resolve
The cat like eyes will resolve with time. I would have your doctor keep following you in regards to this. I personally do like midface lifts. They are unnatural and in my opinion does not work. I prefer filling over facelifting.

Slanty eyes after a mid face lift
Sorry you are so disappointed.
Give yourself a full six months.By then most swelling has subsided.
If you still don't look like yourself, discuss this with your doctor and also get a second opinion before deciding what to do.
Chances are it will correct itself. Best of luck.

Improper Mid Face Lift Can Cause Cat-Like Appearance
The Midface or cheek area has been a controversial area in the field of face lift cosmetic surgery. Some surgeons believe passionately in procedures such as endoscopic mid facelift, however it’s been my experience and observation that when I see the patients who have gone to these surgeons and have had this type of mid facelift procedure, they look overpulled and “cat like” as you describe. You may have to consult with your former surgeon or another surgeon who can evaluate...
