What do I do when my mini face lift, plus temporal side slight lift is almost gone?

Question

Barely 2 years ago, I had a mini lift, and one side ended up at least half and inch lower. The side temporal area was pulled so much I am missing almost 2". I have very thin hair so there's nothing to pull back towards the front. I was told , after 6 months, that I could go back and have that one side that is lower, redone. I am no longer in the same state. The doctor is known to be quite good, however clearly didn't seem to be very careful on me. How would I know I could trust him?

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

It’s hard to make recommendations without photos, especially in the case of possible revision. Sometimes asymmetry can be caused by underlying structures so please repost with photos.

It is impossible to give you good advise without any pre and postoperative photos! It would be in your beat interest to seek a second opinion consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, expert in face lifts; Norfolk, Va. has quite a few good once. Good luck.

Without photos it’s hard to tell how bad the problem is and what, if anything, can be done. It sounds like you don’t trust your previous surgeon entirely. Get other opinions on what could be redone.

Very hard to respond without you posting before and after photos. Best to virtual consult with...I assume you were happy right after surgery? Most likely complete revision is needed.?.
