Lumpy side of face - is there anything I can do to smooth it out? (Photo)

Question

I had a deep plane face lift and lower bleph 9 months ago. My left side of face near temple and upper cheek is wavey. When i smile it buldges and gets lumpy. My doctor seemed to dismiss my concerns and encouraged me to massage it. He has offered no solutions. Is there anything i can do to smooth out my face and smile at this point?

Hi. Thank you for sharing your inquiry.
Based on the photos you shared, it appears to be caused by skin redundancy. While recovery speeds vary from person to person, there is a simple step you can try at home to help improve the area.
First, it is recommended to try a vibration massager like a galvanic device on the concerned areas.
If you don’t see significant improvement after regular use, the next step could be to consult with a dermatologist for a more advanced treatment, such as radiofrequency treatment or laser therapy, which can further enhance skin tightening and texture.
I hope these suggestions help you achieve a smoother recovery and excellent results. Wishing you all the best!
Thank you.
