Puffy eyes seven months after lower facelift and fat reduction. Can this be corrected? (Photo)

Peaceful820415May 13, 2022
Hello, I had a lower facelift and a reduction of fat in my lower eyelids over seven months ago. My left eye is still very swollen and it seems that the numbness on the left side going from my left eye to my left temple is still prevalent. Above the cheekbone on the left side, it appears to be a little swollen still but I’m unsure. My left eye, however, is still swollen, Puffy, and very unsightly. Any ideas what could be going on and if this can be corrected? I would appreciate any help!

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry...
