Disappointment After Facelift and Fat Transfer?

July 10, 2013
Asked By:aussie aussie aussie in Sydney, AU

In October 2012 I underwent a Short Access Facial Elevation face-lift and fat transfer. Unfortunately after several months I noticed skin laxity returning to my lower face region. In May I had 2mls of Voluma injected into my cheeks and pre-jowl areas hoping for some improvement (different doctor). I would appreciate your advice about this problem prior to returning to see my original surgeon. Thanks Update: Photos added here.
