I had a brow lift and face lift 7 months ago. I now have a hole in my right fatty cheek area and deeper one in the laugh line on my left side. Both occurring 5 months after surgery. The hole in my laugh line seems to be following the pattern as the cheek dimple, present one day and then not the next. The dimple in my cheek is now ever present. I have lost about 15 pounds since surgery and am told this is the reason. Can i do anything about these terrible holes in my face.
