How do I recover from an unwanted botched subperiosteal midface lift? 15 months post-op.

Deformity
Something under my soft tissue which wasn't droopy, has been lifted up causing constant pull and discomfort. soft tissue which would be good to lift towards my ear is separated from underneath and fallen down. Lower cheeks hollowed out, upper cheek looks wide horizontal and out of frame of face like I had implants. Middle of face by my nose, looks hollowed out and nose collapses as I breath. Eyes look small with deep valley between cheek and eye. Hard cheeks. How long will this last? Please help
