I recently had a PS tell my lower face complaints are in a "gray zone"; my deformities are noticeable but not dramatic enough to merit a lower facelift. He also said I would likely be unhappy with face/neck liposuction because of the potential for more loose skin. He said possibly Ultherapy but that he was never impressed with the results. Are there any possibilities for me? Through surgical or non-surgical means? I'm willing to do more than one procedure if it means good results over time.

It is normal to have swelling after only nine days, you will see improvement as the days go by. Be sure to sleep with your head elevated, drink plenty of water. Address any concerns with your plastic surgeon. Good luck.
You have post operative marginal mandibular nerve palsy. This is usually from a stretch to the nerve rather than a transection. Fortunately this resolves with time in most patients (6 weeks to 6 months) Your surgeon could consider balancing Botox on the contralateral side to help even the smile...
Thank you for asking about moisturizers for your face and breasts after a face lift and breast lift.
The tightness is probably swelling. A light facial wrap and a bra will help more than moisturizer after a face lift and breast lift.
Skin lotion is fine - Eucerin works well - but...
