I had my facelift five weeks ago and the resuls are great but under my chin on either side it looks as though it is possbly hanging slightly or swoollen and I am concerned as I had jowls before. -- Updated on Dec 1, 2009: It is now six weeks since I had my facelift and I am really looking younger,the problem is that my left side of my face is still swollen and I have a bag under my left eye, all this is very uncomfortable and the left side feels tight. Is this normal.

Great review?

Question:Facelift and Neck Liposuction for Jowls? Answer: If sagging of the skin of the lower face, jowls and neck is present, facelift surgery to redrape the soft tissues and skin of the face and neck is indicated. If the jowls are puffy, I will frequently perform superficial and very conservative liposuction of the jowl region. If there is a fatty fullness of the neck, I will employ conservative liposuction in the neck region as well. The liposuction portion of the procedure precedes the remainder of the submentoplasty and facelift procedure.
