I am 5 mo's post face/neck lift. The Dr. raised/repositioned my cheeks too high. The only comments I receive are negative & they are accurate. I have also lost a good deal of volume in my midface. Is it possible to have the lift redone & have the malar pads repositioned to a lower level?

Answer: Cheek position after facelifts
There are a number of techniques used in facelifting, some of which are geared more to the midface/cheeks. It's possible that your result is based on such a choice of technique. In any event, you really can't or shouldn't redo that surgery. You would do best by just giving things time, expecting them to improve as you age, or add volume to the face in adjacent areas to camoflage this look. It may not be what you want to hear, but that's what you need to consider.

Answer: Hope this helps! I recommend allowing a full year after your initial surgery to ensure you're able to appreciate your final results. It's during this period that the true impact of any adjustments becomes clearer. If you're noticing changes in cheek volume, which can also be part of the natural aging process, there are non-surgical options to consider. Techniques such as fat transfer or the use of fillers can often provide effective volume restoration without the need for surgery. To determine the most suitable course of action, I encourage you to arrange a consultation with a qualified physician. Seeking multiple opinions can empower you to make an informed decision that aligns with your goals. If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out to me at chopraplasticsurgery.com.
