10 Months Post Facelift. Still Have Depressions on Lower Face. Similiar to SMAS Facelift That Was Performed? (photo)

karen
Depressions still under cheekbones (both sides not even). Surgeon unhelpful. No suggestions 2 massage or to do anything (will that help?). It improved little each month but last 2 mo. don't see changes. Also have what looks like a pea near right side of my mouth. Still swollen, could this be the problem? Bought Negative Ion massager. Need to be ultrasound? Manual massage seems to help. Still swollen. Could this be why? When swelling goes down completely will it help smooth things out?
