Too many complications to list - Please see my review & update for all details and photos. Any comments/advice would be greatly appreciated.

At 9 weeks post-op, it appears highly likely that my eyes, face, neck & laser all need to be redone (except my upper lip does looks good). Is it even possible to redo my facelift and repair my hollowed out lumpy cheeks without implants or temporary fillers?
