Lower face lift issues with eyes

User Avatar
Jamie ZApr 1, 2024

I had a lower facelift with under eye blepheroplasty that has left me with dry eyes & is causing issues with my vision. My eyelids do not close fully anymore. Maybe the skin was pulled down away from my eyes as I now have a different appearance and often appear to have down syndrome type features in photos. I'm over 1 year post op. I've had 4 post op visits & my surgeon says be patient I'm still healing. Is this normal? Will it get better or can it be fixed?

You are an absolute candidate for open neck deep plane lift, with the purpose to treat the underplatysma bulging: trimming only the bulging part of the gland, it is never a total removal, removing a portion of the digastric muscle, trimming the subplatysma fat which obviously can not be reached...

I generally prefer to conduct a physical examination first, but from what I can gather from your photos, you seem to be a suitable candidate for a lower facelift or mini facelift surgery. Correcting the area known as jowls in the lower part of your face with a facelift will make you look younger...

Some of these still look largely like typical post-surgical changes, although it is a bit long that you have had them. Have you been massaging/doing any lymphatic massage? Esp the last 2 photos suggest to me that those areas of pleating really just need to be massaged out. 1st and 4th pic also...

Will a mini facelift address the mid face and cheek area?

Most mini face/neck lifts take care of the jawline and neck but do nothing much for the cheek or midface. Ligaments, muscles and skin are always release and resuspended up. Cost is roughly $15,000 under local and so worth it at any age.

Thanks for providing photos. From the pictures provided, you seem to be aging very well. You are too early for facelift intervention. Volbella is a Juvederm filler that works very well for malar/midface volume. Starting a routine of skin rejuvenation (Lasers, microneedling, etc.) to promote...

One thing to consider is a lip lift. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. This will help minimize the nasolabial folds and give a more youthful appearance...
