My cheeks have been pulled too high during a facelift, it’s been a year since surgery and my cheeks are still extremely high it makes my face look fat. Can they be revised back down to a lower position? Thank you
Answer: Revision surgery Absolutely, it's always great to have scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon to discuss your aftercare and your thoughts/concerns about your surgery. Did you consult your surgeon initially regarding your thoughts?Unfortunately, without any pictures I am unable to help you in great detail. However, with regards to any revision surgery, at around 6-8 months+, you're healed well enough for adjustments to be made by your surgeon (if that's what's required). Of course, if you don't feel comfortable with your current surgeon, feel free to consult with a certified plastic surgeon to evaluate the work that needs to be corrected. You need to be happy with the outcome and contacting other surgeons for opinions is the first start. Good luck!

Answer: Can cheeks be lowered after a facelift The simple answer is yes. That also depends if skin was excised from your lower lid area during the surgery in case your facelift was done in combination with lower eyelid surgery. If excess bulk and prominence over the cheeks is your main concern, then there are other options apart from revision that can be considered too. This however needs to be assessed clinically to evaluate and decide the best approach.

Answer: Revising cheeks after face lift It is very difficult to give you any advice/opinion without photos and/or in person evaluation. It would be interested to know whether you cheeks were lifted and what technique was used; it is possible that they were augmented (fat grafts) only? Only on the basis of in person evaluation one could give you appropriate answer and options for correction. Good luck.
