Asked By:Rocketman85 in Scotland, Storbritannia

I had a midface augumentation and soft tissue resuspension. The right side of face was alot more swollen after the procedure and I could not lift the right mouth corner when I smiled. Now 5 months after this has improved and when I smile now this side actually lifts higher than the left side. But I got some droopyness on the right side next to my mouthcorner and the cheek area is a bit flatter next to the nose. I also feel the minor muscle string with my finger on left side but not the r. side.
