How you can reverse a skin only mid facelift that removed 1 cm of skin and left pullled look with square shape face and slanted eyes
Answer: Skin Only Facelift The best way to address the problems related to inappropriate techniques is to revert to a properly done procedure. Usually this include eliminating tension on the skin by lifting/tightening the deeper tissues (SMAS/platysma) and then redraping the skin with minimal tension if possible.

Answer: Reversing a skin only facelift Thankyou for your query. Some pictures will be helpful to give you a proper opinion. However, massages may help as will tissue expansion but the latter may be too drastic. A lot of correction can be achieved by massages and taping and this is what I would recommend. Please discuss this with your Plastic surgeon. All the best!

Answer: Revision facelift Thank you for your question! I am sorry you have not been satisfied with your results. You do not have any pictures posted, but I can discuss what I typically see in patients who have had these type of lifts. When only the skin is lifted, there tends to be tension on the incision lines and scarring can be a problem. Additionally, most of these skin only procedures have a horizontal pull and do not adequately reposition the tissues vertically giving patients a "pulled" appearance. My solution to this situation often times is a deep plane facelift to reposition the deeper layers more vertically and support the skin so there is less tension for a more natural result. If there were widened scars from the first surgery these can sometimes be removed during this procedure - really depends on the case! I am sorry you are going through this but there are a lot of great surgeons out there that you can see. I recommend seeing several before deciding who you feel comfortable with. Good luck!

Answer: Deep plane facelift Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. It sounds like the “skin-only mid facelift” you underwent may have created some unwanted tension and distortion in your facial features, leading to the pulled appearance, square-shaped face, and slanted eyes you described.

Answer: Correct skin only facelift Thank you for your question. A skin only facelift was probably performed by a non-plastic surgeon. Facelift techniques used today involve tightening or elevating the deeper structures of your face. This includes a SMAS type lift of a deep plane lift. This moves the skin and underlying deep structures, resulting in a more natural result, and a longer lasting result.
