I just had a face liposuction and facelift. After applying ice pack, the swelling has gone down a lot but i notice there are several dents on my left face which made my face looks disfigured. Is there any remedy?
Answer: Dent after facial liposuction Thank you for the question and the photo. Issues like yours are why I never recommend liposuction in the face. The delicate facial tissues and fat pads are not meant to be treated this way, and scar tissue, tethering, or over-thinning of areas can leave obvious contour deformities. A physical exam would be needed to determine the best course of action... though this may include addition of fat taken from the abdomen, scar revision, or subcision. Best of luck moving forward!

CONTACT NOW Answer: Dent on face after face liposuction and facelift. Is there a remedy? After an in person examination I recommend trying Vollure filler or Scupltra injections to improve the appearances. It might take a few sessions of injections.

Answer: Results It is going to take anywhere from 3-6 months for you final results so, for now, I would suggest patience. However, if these dents are still there at the 3 month mark then see your surgeon.

Answer: Suctioning of the face above the line of the lower jaw is almost never indicated. I'm not certain why you would of had liposuction of the cheek in combination with the facelift. After swelling is completely subsided a depression might require careful fat grafting for correction.

Answer: Early healing appearance changes Hi nicobowen ac. Sorry you are going through a small bump in the road to recovery. You are very early (in terms of biologic wound healing) and you are going to see continued changes as internal tissue inflammation resolves and healing progresses. It is likely that the depressions will become shallower. When you are further along, you may benefit from a filler placement (synthetic like Juvederm or biologic like fat). Ask your PS for suggestions, such as lymphatic massage now that may help expedite resolution. Stay in close contact with your PS and hang in there!
