One Month After Face Lift - I Have Puffy, Loose Skin Around my Mouth - Should I Worry?

August 9, 2011
Asked By:Anxious Ann

I had a full face and neck lift one month ago. I saw my surgeon today and asked him about the puffy loose skin around one side of my mouth. The other side of my face is smooth and tighter. I was hoping he would say it is just swelling that will eventually flatten out, but he was unsure. He mentioned that the area around the mouth is not lifted in a face lift. Now I am worried that this area will end up being saggy.
