Can this asymmetry and puckering after silhouette thread treatment be corrected? 1 day p.o. (photos)

Question

3 hours ago just had 4 silhouette threads. The left side of my face is full of puckering and my cheek shows now an awful shape.the right side looks ok. Are the threads on the left side ill-placed? hoursI send you photos (the first photo shows my left side taken from a mirror). Now i feel ashamed of showing my face with this assimetry and the distorted cheek. Can this be corrected? I am worried i did this to look worse!

Hello, and thank you for your question. Dimpling and puckering can occur right after a thread lift. I would recommend waiting about a week before you make judgments about the results. If, after a week, you are still concerned, I would speak with your doctor. Best of luck.

I can understand your concern on seeing the puckering but please don't worry. It is not unusual to see some dimpling or puckering at first as a result of tensioning the skin. It will usually resolve within 5-7 days. 
Just be careful not to use excessive facial expressions and allow the skin to settle down. If you are experiencing discomfort take some paracetamol and use a cold compress. 
I assume that you have a review visit with your doctor but if you are still concerned after one week I would suggest a visit to your doctor for him/her to check that everything if OK.
But please be patient and allow time for it to settle down. And do not worry! I'm sure you will be pleased with the results.
Best wishes
