Hollow area under cheekbones after facelift and rhinoplasty. 6 weeks post-op.

After Facelift surgery it is not uncommon to have temporary numbness and firmness around the surgical area that should in time resolve.  As far as hollow areas under cheek bones would have to see photos to see if this is just surrounding post operative swelling-would talk to your surgeon with these concerns.Good luck on your recovery!!

Hello Mayasa,Without pictures it is very hard to comment on what is normal and not.  As far as numbness, that is very common at 6 weeks in front of and even behind the ears. Hardness may be normal but it may be a sign of excess scar tissue depending on how it looks.  As far as people saying you appear like you lost weight that is often a good outcome from a facelift.  If you are bothered by that you should consider following up with your surgeon to discuss your concerns.I hope this helps and good luck.
