Mid-facelift 7 months ago & have perioral mounds, is this treatable? (Photos)

Question

I had SMAS mid facelift done 7 months ago. I believe i have perioral mounds on the sides of my mouth. Is this treatable & why did this happen?

One of the limitations of a limited facelift (like a mid-facelift) is that they don't get everything. That's largely why you have this remaining. But, there are ways to address it without another facelift. With facetite, embrace, and possibly buccal fat removal (all three are office procedures) we can get that area looking tighter in the office.

To me it seems that your skin was pulled too much vertically which caused the skin the drape like a curtain. The skin needs to be redraped so it lies more naturally. I don’t know if there are scars behind your ears but you would require them for the revision
