Face lift/Vector lift 26 days ago. Wondering if some obvious flaws will resolve with time. (Photos)

Asked By:Lisa83906 in San Francisco, CA

I have a fold of skin at my temple on the right side and a horizontal line with a ridge of thickness below it on the left side. My surgeon was annoyed and somewhat defensive when I expressed concern on my 2 week post op visit, saying he wasn't a novice and this would resolve with time. He also said if any revision was needed I would need to wait 5 to 6 months. I'm not seeing how time will change it. It looks the same at 26 days as it did 1 day post op. How concerned should I be or am I over reacting?
