Cheeks too high after deep plane facelift and unnatural pulled face. Revision options?

August 12, 2024
Asked By:RealSelfMember092664

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?

What is this discoloration that appeared after a revision facelift? (Photo)
Connie Hiers, MD, FACS says:

That discolored area is where the blood flow to the skin was compromised, but did not fully die. Revision may not be successful in that area. You could try a laser that removes color, but I would avoid being too aggressive or it may become worse.

Another facelift or fat transfers? (Photo)
Connie Hiers, MD, FACS says:

Have you lost weight? You have lost volume in your face. You could try careful fat transfers or Sculptra injections to help create more volume. A facelift would only emphasize this loss.
