It's still too tight and very unattractive. The sides of my face (curves) were tightened and still are, while my midface has since fallen and now I look like a pig (I'm slim). I want slimming/definition and balance put back, yet all I read are fillers and lift which I believe will worsen things. Can a lift be reversed? Tissues loosened or repositioned other than yanked up--or is this impossible? Is there a dr that has done this? Anyone? thank you

Answer: Can a #facelift be #reversed ? You cannot reverse a facelift. The lift is performed by tightening the deeper tissues and then removing the excess skin. Reversing a lift would involve adding back tissue (skin graft or otherwise) and would certainly result in a less appealing result than what troubles you now. With that said, a facelift can be refined and improved upon. This might involve resurfacing procedures, volume replacement and small revisions. Without photos or meeting you it is impossible to give you specific advice. I would recommend that you consult with a facelift specialist. If they cannot help you seek a second and third opinion until you find someone willing to take the time to listen to you, look at you and offer a realistic approach to improving the look that concerns you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Revision facelift To better answer your question, some pictures would be helpful. However, there are certainly measures that can be taken to improve the appearance of an overly tight facelift. A consultation with an experienced surgeon who specializes in facial plastic surgery would be th best way to find out your options.
