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

May 13, 2022
Asked By:Peaceful820415

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!

Will my “smiling face” shape and appearance change after a mid and lower face/neck lift?
Jason Emer, MD says:

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

I have a had a sweet taste in my mouth since Lower Facelift procedure - Possible nerve damage?
Cory Bovenzi, MD says:

Facelift surgery is highly unlikely to change your sense of taste since the nerves that control your sense of taste are in a much different plane than where facelift surgery is performed. You were right in seeing an ENT and dentist since a change in taste could come from tartar between teeth...

Jason Emer, MD says:

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...
