Facelift nerves. What are the chances of it causing my to have a droopy lip?

February 22, 2024
Asked By:Kittypower70 in Carlow, IE

Hi! At 53 I am finally getting my facelift/necklift. About 5 years ago, I was not quite ready, so I had facetite. I was very happy with the results, but I had a droopy lip for a while. It resolved just like my surgeon said, but now I am wondering what the chances are of that happening again. Maybe it's my age but I seem to be more nervous than usual. Any thoughts?
