Question

I had a facelift a year and 3 months ago and had a hematoma on my left side near jawline. Can this be fixed and if so how. I am looking for a new surgeon.

The skin on your cheek spirals puckered and is hanging. It can be corrected but really the entire facelift should be redone with the skin properly redraped. Also you have dragging down if your earlobe. Not complicated to fix but you need a surgeon e is turn rd in revision facelift

Gianfranco Frojo, MD · Answer

This is a complex problem that is difficult to fully describe what is the ideal solution without performing a physical exam. The hematoma may have stretched the underlying skin and/or lead to persistent edema that is causing the appearance of that area. This may also be pseudoherniation of buccal fat in combination with the previously other mentioned items. I would highly recommend seeing a board eligible or board certified plastic surgeon for a physical exam and accurate analysis with safe recommendations for potential surgical options. Best of luck!

Thanks for the 1 posted phot. And sorry for your hematoma postop complication. Only re operation on the hematoma side with correction of the 'pixie' ear deformity can help greatly improve your issues. Fees in the $10,000 ranges. Best to virtual consult with....
