Sunken area 2 years after facelift - what could have caused this and can it be treated? (photos)

033198
I had a facelift two years ago and and I am left with a verticle type dent (not a diagonal cross dent toward my ear). I would like to know what caused it, what it is, and how it should be treated. Thank you.
