After a facelift 2 months ago I have a lateral sweep or "Nike swoosh" on the right side of my face extending from the corner of my mouth and sweeping upwards under my cheek. My surgeon blamed the condition of my skin for this outcome and after telling him how concerned and depressed I was about it he told me I was being over dramatic. His method of dealing with this problem has been injecting restylane to try to camoflague the swept up skin and he has told me that I have to wait for 9 months. Looks like a Nike swoosh.
