I'm concerned about a weird tingling, slightly painful feeling I am having in my upper cheeks after Facelift. I see some slight bruising and the cheek muscles feel like they are stretching downward. It hurts to lie on my side in bed. And perhaps its my imagination, but I see slight jowls again if i hold my head a certain way. My husband swears he sees nothing. But my concern is this tingling pain in my cheeks and I wonder if my cheeks are sliding down their original position as the sutures dissolve?

Answer: Cheek discomfort after facelift My first question is how long ago was your facelift? If ithas been in the last four to six months, then normal healing with nerves coming back is very normal. The face does relax after a facelift as the swelling comes down. The is normal. You will see fullness in the jowl area if you bend your neck downward. All needs to be evaluated in a neutral position.

Answer: Tingling After A Facelift
Tingling after a facelift typically occurs around the ear area and less commonly around the midface area. Tingling can be a sign of regrowth of tiny unnamed nerves and can take between one month to sometimes a year in select cases.

Answer: There are several reasons for this. This is part of healing and can be there for several months. Done properly, it will not fall to the original position, and those feelings will go away.
