What kind of facelifts are associated with this? How long does it last? What is it due to? Anything you can do about it?
Answer: Distortion after facelift Unevenness in the first few weeks /months after surgery is very common, and has to do with sutures and swelling. Unevenness long after surgery, if it's done on proper candidates and by good surgeons, is not common (but it does happen even to good patients and good surgeons sometimes). Be sure to discuss your goals and concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon and consider the pros and the cons. Be certain your surgeon is properly certified.

Answer: Modest unevenness after a facelift should be resolved completely by six weeks in most patients. Due to swelling there may be some contour issues after a facelift. It would be highly unusual for these to be of any significance six weeks after the operation.

Answer: The Perfect Facelift Even the most perfect facelifts will have swelling, and all swelling is asymmetric, it is simply a question of degrees. If you are asking this question preoperatively, I suggest meeting with an expert facelift surgeon -- someone who has been performing facelifts for decades, preferably a board-certified plastic surgeon -- because he (or she) and staff should prepare you thoroughly for your surgery so that you have a solid understanding of the post-operative course. If you are asking because you've had surgery and you are experiencing unnevenness or distortion, I suggest you call your surgeon to discuss your current situation. I (and I assume that my colleagues are similar) am always happy to share my knowledge with my patients to help allay concerns. Plastic surgery is a partnership between surgeon and patient, and the job of a surgeon does not end with the surgery; it is our responsibility, and pleasure, to help you.

Answer: Unevenness after facelift All facelift techniques are prone to this if not enough care is taken that the same amount of tissue is manipulated in each side. Careful attention to reproducing the result on both sides is important.
