I had a upper face lift 6 mo ago under local anesthesia. the left eye was pulled tight during the procedure, so he went back in to lessen the pull. That side of my cheek is now brownish in color, and has not responderd to 4 broadband light treatments. He also injected a steroid 2 months after to help with bruising, which resulted in atrophy in that cheek, which he used a filler to correct. It is still bumpy. he wants to use fractionated laser Next. Are there any other options?
