Excess Skin/Bone Structure Looks Like Unibrow

kasdfApr 10, 2011
I was wondering why do I have this excess red skin or bone structure (which may create a shadow) that makes it seem like I have a unibrow and also like I have no control over my eyebrow/facial muscles and they just droop. Looks like Frankenstein. Pic is attached; my glabella area looks like a stick-figure bird (can you see it?). It's also bad when I smile so taking pictures is hard. Why and what can be done? A build up of nose bone?

During a facelift incisions are made behind the ears. After surgery there would be expected to be some swelling of the tissues there which can cause the ears to look more protruded temporarily.

In my practice facelift sutures are removed 7 days post op. Then scar treatment begins two weeks later using special creams. Other surgeons prefer early removal of facelift sutures, I have not had any issue with taking them at 7 day post op.

Reduction of your lower lip with a chin implant will give your face a much softer, balanced look. See a good surgeon in your area who is experienced with this procedure.
