I am 41. Had a beautiful face, just wanted a natural lift. My result: I look completely unnatural, corners of the mouth pulled upwards, and cheekbones look unnaturaly high. He also did periorbital fat grafting and that looks overfilled especially below the brows. My eyes look smaller. I don’t recognize myself. Other details: infection at both ears at 1 week and bleeding on 2nd week so he had to perform a 2nd surgery to treat bleeding. What are my options to become myself again? Can be reversed?
