Does Facial Asymmetry After Plastic Surgery Go Away? How Long Does It Take?

February 13, 2012
Asked By:Wundah in Washington, DC

I had a mid-face and neck lift and lower eyelid resurfacing over 5 weeks ago and never was told about the possibility of asymmetry of the face. I can hardly open my mouth and my speech is a problem as well. I am older and I know that I will heal slower, but is this an issue that will correct itself? Can I have it corrected with Botox or something else quickly?
