33, female, prolonged swelling/sagging post Taylor Liberator subcision, causes & options? (Photos)

I have been performing subcisions, both individual and Field Subcision, since 1995 with gratifying results for elevating and smoothing indented scars and widespread acne-related atrophy of the cheeks, temples and chin, respectively. These treatments have a proven, several decades' long track record for both safety and efficacy in all skin types. I do not, however, perform the Taylor Liberator procedure, but have treated quite a number of people who have come to me with complications of this approach, which is a very aggressive form of subcision that appears to engender in the cases I have treated significant tissue fibrosis, which may account for the swelling described in the question. Fortunately, I have been able to achieve significant improvement using an algorithm of intralesional injections of varying combinations, concentrations and amounts of anti-inflammatory agents to shrink the fibrosis. You would be wise to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist and best of luck.

It’s difficult to make an assessment based on the pictures you’ve included. All people have significant facial asymmetry, so we ideally should see full face images. We generally make facial assessments without facial expression.
I suggest you follow up with your provider and discuss your concerns with him or her.
Did the procedure improve your acne scarring?
