I had a macs facelift, upper and lower eye lift and fat transfer to cheeks. Wrinkles reappearing under my eyes and cheeks look like they are sagging already. Until last week I was very happy with the results but during the past few days the swelling has subsided radically and I look old again. Is it possible that the fat in my cheeks has begun to be absorbed? Is it that at this stage we look worse before we look better or has this lift just failed and I will have to undergo more surgery.
Answer: Middle access facelifts yield good results only on selected patients.

Answer: 7 Weeks Post Op and Very Disappointed With MACS Facelift The healing process in general can take up to one month for the majority of swelling to subside, incisions to close, sutures to come out, and for bruising to completely go away. #Recovery time from a #facelift varies from person to person, but patients can generally expect to be presentable within three weeks from surgery. Patients should expect swelling, bruising, and discoloration of the skin during this phase of recovery (swelling normally goes down after 48 hours; most bruising will go away within two weeks). The marks from a facelift can easily hidden with “camouflage” make-up which you can learn how to apply.The scars from a facelift mature within six to twelve months from the surgery date. It is during this time that the rejuvenating effects of the facelift will become apparent and the real result will be seen. Typically, it's best to wait 6 to 12 months depending on the reason for #revision. As with all #cosmetic surgery, results will be rewarding if expectations are realistic. With any surgical #procedure and #revision, there are some risks of unhappy outcome or other complications which your surgeon should discuss with you during your consultation. Your procedure should always be performed by a #PlasticSurgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in cosmetic #surgery. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for another revision surgery.If you have certain concerns about the procedures and #healing process, it is recommended to call your board-certified surgeon or their medical staff and discuss those #concerns.
