Mid Face Lift Reversal Consequences?

April 14, 2013
Asked By:bookreader

I had MFL 3 months ago. Face is distorted now. Right cheek is bigger than left. Left eye appears lower than right. Surgeon says didn't do a typical MFL. He combined MFL technique with fat injections, didn't do symmetrical surgery or remove any tissue from maxillary area, just elevated periosteum, adding fat to equalize cheeks. Hanging ropes in place to stabilize lower eyelids. Says with typical MFL surgery, for face rejuvenation, it is not easy to reverse, but my situation is different.
