I had a face lift 6 months ago . I specifically wanted my cheeks tightened but nothing on my upper face to change . I noticed my eyes were stretched and waited to see if it was swelling and it is still stretched . Is there a way to fix this ? Is there a surgery ? My eyes were bigger before and now they are tighter which is what I didn't want

Thank you for sharing your experience. It is difficult to comment whether or not a result is good enough or as good as expected as this is to some extent subjective, even though it should be more objective. The degree of correction of the jowls, marionette folds, jawline and neck for example...
This is the fine balance that has to be achieved in effective facelifting. Aggressive facelifts that involve "over-tightening" of the platysma, "over-resection" of skin will "look great" for a while but introduce a lot of tension in the face and neck that can feel and look "over done". Whatever...
It seems that the skin was not adequately released from the cheek muscle. So when the muscle was tightened it caused that bunching. The skin needs to be recessed further out on the cheek.
