Endotine periosteal mid face lift 10 weeks post op. Need cheeks repositioning. What surgeon has done this?

Question

My mfl nightmare. My cheeks were pulled so high and showcase my asymmetry. I look so unnatural (cheek enhancement was never wanted nor discussed in any way). Improvement in jowles and lower face was the goal with endoscopic mfl and lower facelift plus laser eye and perioral co2. I look like a absolute freak. My eye shape is different "temple endoc /oral"Cheeks so unnatural high and pointy im desperate to find a provider i will fly to anyone who has repositioned misplaced cheeks 10 weeks post

You are still very early in the recovery phase (10 weeks post-op) so there is likely swelling contributing to your asymmetry. You should return to your surgeon and discuss your concerns. If the asymmetry is not caused by post-surgical swelling the endotines can be removed and allow your cheeks to return to their pre-surgical appearance. Good luck

Thank you for your questions. The person best equipped to reverse what was done was your original surgeon. I suggest you return to him or her to review your concerns and discuss options. Otherwise, you are going to have to see another plastic surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery to try to decode what was done and how to reverse it.Good luck!Dallas R.

Although some surgeons claim predictable results with Endotine midface/cheek lift, it doesn't seem to be the case for most of us. Only on the basis of in person evaluation one could give you proper plan of action, including removal of Endotine device. Good luck.

Darryl J. Blinski, MD · Answer

I recommend complete removal of this product immediately, whether by the original surgeon or finding another boarded PS to remove (though fees of $2,000+/- will be incurred).
