Posted to Complication After Midface Lift (Cheek Lift) on 20 Jun 2011

It was not a surgeon in Boston whom I went to but somebody who had just been trained in his particular procedure.What sort of problems did you have?I had lower eyelid pulling and nerve damage which caused my nose to move around when I speak, spread out hugely when I smile and collapse when I inhale (one side only). There appears to be no treatment for this and I have spent many years seeking help. As far as i am aware, this type of mfl has been discontinued by the Boston surgeon. My problems also began at about the 3-4 month mark

I agree with er nurse. Not a good procedure.

In my case, strictly from the mid face lift

I had a mid face lift 5 years ago. I too had damage like you mention. Even though I have worked very hard to strengthen my eye and facial muscles, I still suffer from a pulling down sensation of my left eyelid when I am tired. and abnormal nasal movement. It is very sad to me that plastic surgeons will not admit to making a mistake and learn from them. It would save unnecessary suffering in other subsequent cases. It actually does improve. At 4 months, like you, I was terrified, but fortunately time is a healer. Take heart from my words.
