Hello. I am a 59 year old femal who underwent a lower facelift 2 years ago. Since that time I have been trying to work with my surgeon to establish why I have indentions along my jawline when I smile. He doesn’t seem to have any explanation and I feel like he simply wants me to go away. Any ideas what can cause jawline indentions?

Answer: Facelift revision! Hi, unfortunately, this is what happens in half portion facelift surgeries. When the lower face lift is performed and the upper sides are not touched at all, this tension becomes buccaling. Even if there is no relaxation on the upper side, it is necessary to explore and relax the skin deeply underneath so that the skin can easily redrape. You need to have a face lift from the beginning. This is a redraping problem of your skin.You can get more detailed information about me, ask all questions about your case and sending your photos to my assistants at the number on my profile. You can also book an online consultation and discuss your problems with me. With all respect.

Answer: Lower facelift 2-years post- what can cause jawline indentions? Thanks for the 2 great posted photos showing exactly your issues. I have seen this complication i my short 40+years. It is usually due to excessive swelling or black & blue in area causing skin to stretch and when healed the skin attaches to the fascia/muscle this on animation the wrinkles form. Only way to improve is re opening complete face skin to release the attachments from underlying fascia/muscles, then foam dressing with minimal facial expression for 3 weeks after surgery - it is quite an ordeal but can work. Fees in $10,000 ranges.
