Pain in cheeks after cheek lift 3 weeks

Is not uncommon. You are still healing and you can still be healing for up to 6 months to 2 years. most of it is done at 6 weeks, about 60%. This will get better. I would consult your physician to have them follow you to make sure that nothing else is going on, like nerve entrapment and infection. Cheek lifts are not the best answer to rejuvenating the middle part of the face.

Pain 3 Weeks After Surgery

Any surgical procedure can produce discomfort and weird sensations for weeks if not months after the procedure. Unfortunately, this can also represent an infection or other complication of surgery. Your best option is to bring your concerns to the attention of your surgeon and let him/her examine to make sure that there is nothing to worry about.

Pain in cheek after lift

There are many small sensory nerves in the region of the cheek lift. Generally these demonstrate increased sensitivity as they recover from the injury of the surgery and it is not unusual for the nerves to be very active and hyepersensitive at 3 weeks (resolving neuropraxias).
