Had minifacelift 3 months ago with bad results. One side of face is flatter, lower, and earache on that side with pulling in front of ear with jaw pain. Seems to be less fat and skin on that side. Smile also slanted down on that side as is my ear. Other side is much fuller and ear is higher. Dr will not take any responsiblility and I will not be going back to him. Would I have to go thru another complete mini lift or just some minor correction. The mini lift also addressed the SMAS

Answer: Mini facelift I'm sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with your physician. That relationship that you established before your procedure is key in tailoring your results, and it may be worth another visit with him or her just to find that initial relationship that you had.From a purely logistical standpoint, reoperation on a mini left needs to wait some time. At the earliest would be around six months, but it would likely be best to wait until about a year. If you can have the same surgeon do the correction that is best, but of course that depends on the situation.To ensure you are receiving the highest level of care, seek out a dermatologic surgeon, oculoplastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who is board certified and fellowship trained in one of these "core four" cosmetic specialties.

Answer: Mini Lift Asymmetry after a mini lift can many times improve with time. Have you seen much improvement in the past three months? If not, a revision of the tightening of the SMAS tissues may be necessary to correct this issue.
