Asymmetry and Lump After Mini Facelift and Eyelid Surgeries

Abby 123
I had a mini facelift 6 years ago (the procedure was performed twice at that time). I also had 2 procedures performed on my eyes - upper and lower eyelid surgery (lower were performed twice). After the 2nd procedures, I was told by my doctor that the asymmetrical profile of my jaw would correct itself in time and the lump below the scar on the left eye would also disappear (he did inject the lump with steroids but nothing happened then). Although other people say they do not notice until I point them out, all I have seen in the mirror and in photos are these issues for all these years. I have been too afraid and unable to afford to consult anyone, but just found this site and had to ask if there is anything I can do to correct this or how I should proceed. Any advice would be appreciated. I loved my doctor but felt too scared to go back to him after everything that had happened. I live in the Ft. Worth, TX area.
