I know it's still early days and I've asked about this recently, but whilst the rest of my face is less swollen, there is no change in this line/ indent on my R side. Similar lines lower down on L side but less pronounced. Also the skin does not seem to cover my jawline ( assuming the skin will drop and cover eventually?) Any professional assessment/commits would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

Answer: Preventing the "Overdone Windswept Look" in Facelifting This is commonly seen in facial rejuvenation surgery when the surgeon has either overdone the skin undermining or had too much skin tension or superior skin shifting in the cheek without correction of the deep SMAS layers . This is also seen more frequently in patients that have not had fat augmentation with the Facelift surgery. The key is to find a true facelift expert who understands the science of facial aging and does this procedure frequently and can show you exceptional results and has expertise in this area by teaching others and publishing on this topic. Make sure they are a board certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon.

Answer: Face/neck lines after facelift Thank you for the question. These bands are likely related to swelling/edema and usually resolve as the healing continues. They may go on and become indurated and form bands of scar tissue under the skin. Your surgeon may initiate lymphatic massage and sometimes steroid injection to soften them up. Specific management plan is made by your surgeon on a case by case basis. It's important that you see your surgeon frequently. Best!Pej Aflaki, M.D.Johns Hopkins-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Hello Rosily, Thank you for your photos. Congratulations on your recent procedure. Everyones healing process is different and it is best to be patient at this time. The lines that you notice could be related to initial healing bands. These consist of fat and skin tissue. These can take months to resolve completely. In a worst case scenario for the future, you may need injection of some sort to speed healing or to soften/fill them. I wouldn't lose sleep over that now because you will most likely heal just fine with time. I would recommend you speak directly with your surgeon in regards to any concerns. Have a great day!
