Can multiple facelifts damage the underlying skin enough to cause permanent rippling?

January 3, 2014
Asked By:301Linda in Waldorf, MD

I am 59 years old. After having 3 facelifts during my lifetime, the skin around my lower cheeks and chin area is now starting to look wavy (lumpy). Could this be caused by having 3 facelifts? I am currently seeing a cosmetic dermatologist who is injecting filler to smooth out these areas, but the lumpiness can still be seen. Is there anything besides filler that can correct this problem?
