I have had filler numerous times prior to my surgery. The most recent round of dermal filler was about 6 months before my mid-facelift. Should I had removed the filler before the surgery? I forgot to mention to my surgeon that I had recently gotten filler. Will it negatively impact the results? Was it in the way of anything, like tissue? What happens to face filler during and after a facelift?
I had an endoscopic brow & cheek lift in Nov 23. Post-surgery the swelling appeared uniform. In Feb 24 it became more apparent under the eye area creating swollen festoons. Im 6 months post and it's very swollen. My doctor says it'll go by itself in a years time, and he cannot remove it w/ a needle because the liquid is mixed inside my face. I tried Indiba and massages but no improvement. Is this a normal side effect? Should I be worried? What I can to make it go away? Thank you.
Almost 1 yr post deep plane face/necklift, I have numbness and irritation around my ears and sides of face still. I also noticed changes in my skin, its rougher textured and has a very red mottled appearance which is definitely unusual for me. I was wondering if nerve damage is affecting my skin quality, and if it would be beneficial to use a TENS machine? I also have quite a bit of inflammation and pain still. Thanks.

I've been highly considering a face lift for years now, I always had saggy cheeks and nasolabial lines. Ive had some fillers it did look better but did not really fix the sagging. Should I do something more drastic even for my young age ?
Im 30 and Ive noticed a HUGE difference in my skin. When Im not smiling I dont see it but as soon as I smile my jaw/cheek area bunches up and creates a massive extra skin look. Its almost as if theres lack of support from my jaw bone or cheek bone? Does this call for a facelift or sculptra or filler to resolve this? It also appears my chin has fallen.
I had a 6 month Invisalign treatment done, and my face appears pulled down now. The dentist keeps telling me there was very little tooth movement, and I was instructed to let the teeth relapse - so thats what I did. But 3 months later and my face still looks bulky and pulled down. Prior to Invisalign, I had nice sharp jawline definition, as shown in picture 1. What happened to my face in only a matter of months?!
I'm told this is extremely rare and I can't find much information online about the outcome. I would be interested to hear from any surgeons who managed this. What steps did you take? How long did it take to resolve? Please give plenty of detail in your answers - exact timings, numbers, etc.
