Some 10 years ago I received a blunt trauma to the side of my head right beside my left eye. Since then the left side of my face has sagged and it is visible compared to the right side of my face. My cheek has also sagged, but within my cheek there is a large band of what feels like muscle. As well as this my eyelids have both also headed "south". My face feels "heavy" and uncomfortable, not to mention the issues with dry eyes etc...

Answer: Repair of facial muscles Hi adn thanks for your question. Facial muscles can be repaired but only in very specific situations. If you muscles work and you are not partially paralyzed then you would need a soft tissue lift....either a midface lift (cheek lift) or some other type of facial lift depending on your facial appearance. I'd recommend consulting with a plastic surgeon in person so that you can get a complete facial analysis!

Answer: Facial muscle repair Hello and thank you for your excellent question. You may be a candidate for a facelift, or some type of muscle re-animation procedure. It is essential that you have an in-person consultation to develop a treatment plan that specifically addresses your personal surgical goals, and your body’s anatomy. Preoperative visualization and surgical simulation with the Crisalix system may help refine this plan. I recommend that you find a board-certified, or board-eligible plastic surgeon with whom you are comfortable. Be sure to have all of your questions answered during a face-to-face meeting with your surgeon, and review before and after pictures of similar patients whom have had this procedure. If you have any questions, call our office for assistance. Good luck!
