Is it ok that I feel a bit disappointed/ underwhelmed with my deep plane facelift result? I’m approx 2 years post op. My midface is not really any different and I still have nasolabial folds that I thought would be softened. Also, my jawline on one side when I looked down is not as defined as the other.
