After a Facelift, Can Fat Gradually Disappear from the Path of Lift?

January 26, 2011
Asked By:Honolulu7527 in Honolulu, HI

The facelift was two years ago. On one cheek, just below my cheekbone and along the path of the lift, a hollow channel has been inching toward the center of my face. The doctor has assured me that this was not a thread lift. The hollow is about 1.25" in width. The skin above it is taut and looks lifeless. The hollow keeps lengthening and it looks awful. What could be happening? And can anything be done to stop it and/or correct it?
