I had a mini face & neck lift 9 months ago, and still have swelling and pain in my neck, my ear and head (left side), and around my jawline. Some numbness and warmth around my jawline and left cheek and tinny pimples. Tightness under the jawline. Bruise on the neck. Doctor had twice injected steroids (last one on 04/03/24) on the left side of my neck. I have not seen significant improvement so far. I have permanent internal stitches. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
My problem is the midface, where my cheeks appear to be more sagged and hollow. I have been told that I need a volume restoration, either via fat grafting or Sculptra. Yet I am afraid volume restoration might not be enough and that is why I am thinking about endoscopic mid facelift too. Do you think fat or Sculptra might be enough ? So facelift might be an overkill. And if those two wouldnt be enough, would facelift after fat grafting or Sculptra be problematic because of the scar tissue.
Hello I had a mini lift 7 months ago. Unfortunately it did not help the laxity under my chin/upper neck. My incisions are still red and thick. They dont follow the natural contour of the ears like in the photos I see online. Especially my left ear, the incision is like an inch out from my ear. I am extremely regretful I had the procedure and now have to live with theee scars. The doctor that did the procedure said everything looks normal. What can I do to help these scars? Will they lighten?
Hi. So I think I have volume loss in my midface area/cheek, but when I smile my cheeks goes up and its full and I have line beside my mouth when I smile. Should I get mid cheek fat graft and / temple, or mini facelift?
Hi there, I'm a 24 year old woman and I've started to notice these strong shadows going down from the corner of my mum, as well as up into the lip area. This connects with the smile line/nasolabial fold and is creating this effect that I think makes me look very old for my age and I don't know what is causing it. If it helps I've been wearing sunscreen every day since I was 13 diligently... What would help this/causes it? Would I need fillers or a facelift? thank you :)
Hi! I'm a 27F with signs of premature aging. I started losing facial fat in my early twenties and it's just gotten worse from there. I'm often mistaken as someone significantly older (late 30s). I've spoken to a few doctors on the potential of cheek fillers to lift the area but they always seem to discourage that route as they say this is concerning my zygomatic ligament. What you would recommend?
I just turned 50 years old. I have mild laxity and just starting to show early signs of aging. I had a consult for a neck and face lift. I was told I was a candidate for a mini face lift and that it should last a decade (give or take). I just read 2 reviews saying their mini lift didn't last longer than 1-2 years. Is this because the surgeon they saw was not skilled enough, they should have gone straight to a full face lift, or do they just do not last long? I am confused.
