It has been over one year after my deep plane facelift. On my right side when I smile, I have a strange line/depression running from the corner of my eye up towards my hairline, as well as lumps on my upper cheek and a depression on the upper cheek area. It i visible only when I smile. This area is also still somewhat numb. It is noticeable and distressing. I try not to smile and wear my hair to cover it. Can this be fixed??

Answer: Bumps after facelift HI, its hard to tell exactly, however, posting pictures before to compare both at rest and smiling will help see exactly whats going on. Did your surgeon have any advice for you? Some options would be combination of botox and or filler depending on exactly whats going on and an exam would be most helpful

Answer: Expected changes during recovery after deep-plane facelift Most sensory deficits after facelift surgery will return eventually. With regards to contour irregularities, however, generally a year of healing is sufficient time for any residual swelling or edema to subside. The presence of the depressions and bumps along your temples and cheeks may be due to the way the SMAS and/or skin flap was re-draped, though if it is only apparent when you smile, it may be a bit more involved. In person evaluation by an experienced surgeon would allow for the most accurate diagnosis and discussion of treatment options.
