Drooping of corners of the mouth after a Facelift. Any suggestions? (photos)

francinemags
Had a facelife 16 weeks ago. During my healing process I noticed that my corners of my mouth are drooping, giving me a sad look. My corners of my mouth naturally were straight before the surgery; however, I had skin that drooped around my mouth, which my surgeon said would be taken care of. Could this be due to the surgery - extra pulling because I also had my muscle bands pulled back as well or did the doctor not pull enough back during the initial surgery?
