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

mayasa
I still have numbness and hardness all in front of my ear sutures. I've noticed a depression/ hollowness between cheekbones and jaw area and people thinks my face has changed and think I lost weight because of that. Is that normal at this point of time and is it gonna be better later on?
