Can the Cheeks Be Repositioned to a Lower Level During a Revision Facelift?

Raising the fat in the cheeks is a typical part of a facelift. In most patients a very nice contour is achieved. If you feel that the fat is too high after 5 months following surgery, chances are it will remain that way long term. Still, I would recommend that you wait a full year after your operation to even consider a revision as the tissue (including the fat) will continue to soften and settle over time. At one year, generally what you see is what you are gonna get. At that time you can reassess and think about possible revisions. 

It is very difficult to lower the tissue though reshaping is possible. While a very small amount of fat might be able to be removed you are more likely to get benefit from some fat grafting to change the overall shape to one that you like better. If you choose to do that please be extra patient with the results. The second operation has an even longer healing time than the first. In the end, I believe you will be happy.

I hope this info helps!

It is very difficult to answer your question without seeing your pictures – you should consider posting images showing your areas of concern

My take on this is:  Too Soon!  Changes in the volume distribution of face may still change, especially if a deep plane approach was used.  If you can see any way to be more patient, I'd do that.  You may save yourself a surgery.
