I had a Face Lift and Neck Lift 2 months ago. Fat injections were also part of the Face Lift. I had a complication where one cheek got swollen and the fluid had to be aspirated. I think some of the fat was aspirated as well, as it looked like liquid fat in the syringe.
Now, I have indents in that cheek. It's been six weeks since the aspiration and everything else looks great, but the indents seem here to stay. I had fillers (Restylane and Juvederm) before the Face Lift and they worked fine. Is it possible to fix this with fillers now? If not, how long do I have to wait? Are there any risks to having fillers after a Face Lift?

Answer: Neck lift
It is not unusual to have this indentaton in your face after you have fluid collected under your skin. You can inyect restylene or juviderm if it is extremily uncanforable for you but most likely it will desapear with time.

Answer: Correcting depressions after a facelift
It is entirely possible to correct deficiencies in the cheek and mid face with fillers. Some fillers can last a year and others can last several years but require multiple treatments. After several months, it should be safe to proceed.

Answer: Fillers after Face Lift
You should wait at least another month prior to considering fillers. The fluid that was aspirated was probably a seroma and there is still swelling and healing that will occur. Fillers can be used safely after a face lift, but you should note that if you use a filler now to correct the area of hollowness that this area may improve and the filler may actually make it look fuller instead. Consult with you plastic surgeon.
