The surgeon who did the lift suggested doing lipo to remove a tiny bit of fat along jawline but I'm worried of nerve damage or just that side not looking as good as the other one does now.
Answer: Need to come in to consult For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Facelift Dear Lola4473,Thank you for your question. Asymmetry following a Facelift can sometimes be seen. I would discuss your concerns with your original Surgeon. Your concern about Liposuction causing nerve damage is certainly something to be aware of, but not necessarily to be worried about. Getting a second opinion is something that you could also consider.Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns!Sincerely,Dr. P Daniel Ward

Answer: Slight asymmetry after a facelift Posting your before and after pictures would help tremendously to see what would be of benefit. Everything else we can say will be purely conjecture. If you don't trust your surgeon, then get a second opinion. Bring your before pictures so that any existing asymmetries can be evaluated. Liposuction could help if fat is there in the jowl.

Answer: Revision facelift It is possible to do a quick one sided revision facelift to make it look symmetric. However, if the jowl is mostly fat then liposuction is a good option as well. One way to tell is by pulling the skin back towards your ear. If that makes the jowl go away then revision lift will work. RegardsDr. Janjua

Answer: Jowls Dropping After 18 months of Facelift Thank you for your question. You should return to see your surgeon to discuss whether revision surgery could be performed. Liposuction will ensure a smooth a L shape neck, without this the fat constantly pushing down on the neck can cause it not to last as long. Unfortunately, all patients have different skin laxity and lifestyles therefore the amount of time a facelift last does depend on these factors. If you trust your surgeon and have had good aftercare experience, then return, however you can always get a second opinion as well. All The Best
