Hello Doctors, just want your take on my "dent". I'm only 3 weeks after my facelift & I know patience is required but I've had this dent since the bandages have come off. My PS reckons it's either the sucture which will dissolve or could be the layers of skin not settled yet & it will improve dramatically But sometimes my left cheek feels tight & a bit achy, sometimes the dent looks better & sometimes the same..
Answer: "Dent" after facelift Thanks for your question! There are a number of things that could be potentially contributing to your "dent", but as your plastic surgeon said and as you know, it's too early to tell how the final result will look. My guess will be that will improve with time once swelling goes down and your tissues have time to settle, but if it didn't go away, fat grafting or fillers would always be an option. Good luck!

Answer: Dent/hollow directly 3 weeks after facelift surgery A contour irregularities on your cheek following a facelift surgery could be due to underlying stitches that may or may not dissolve, or could be from a little bit of bleeding that has caused a small hematoma. Also, swelling can account for it. In most instances this subsides with time. Your surgeon will no the sub techniques utilized in your particular operation and will have the advantage of being able to examine your cheek. He or she may at some point advocate gentle massage to help speed up the process.

Answer: Dent in face post operatively The indentation may be a result of an over tightened suture of the deep tissues or secondary to liposuction of the fat if that was done. There may also be a small collection of blood or serum above the indentation which gives the illusion of a dent. Your are early in the game and hopefullythings will improve. One suggestion that you may want to ask your surgeon about: 1] massage several times a day to keep the tissues loose and prevent abnormal adherence
