Midface lift looks very bad, not a smooth or nice! What went wrong?

I understand your concern, but I encourage you to be patient. Without a photo or knowing the specific details of your procedure, it's not possible to offer more than general advice. I will say that in most cases, there is still significant swelling and bruising 8 days after surgery, although it depends on the techniques used. These types of side effects can last up to 2 to 3 weeks. If you remain disappointed in the results after a month, I would encourage you to then schedule an appointment with your surgeon to discuss your concerns. Best of luck.

Thank you for your question. The midface lifting is engineered to accomplish a youthful face, which is heartshaped - wider at the cheeks and midface and gently contoured to a narrower appearance in the lower face. I suggest that you remain patient because most patients experience a lot of swelling and bruising up to two weeks after the operation. Please consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon and make sure to discuss all of your concerns at that moment. Best wishes,

It is not unusual that someone may feel they look horrible 8 days after a midface lift.  There normally is still a significant amount of swelling present at this time and this will distort the true appearance of the face.  It will take several months for you to have a better idea of your results.
