The reason this happened was because your skin was pulled too vertically. There are a number of ways to fix it. To me it appears the entire area of skin in the cheek and temple would need to be tailored better
Hello,The presence of pleating in the malar area following a facelift can be an interesting occurrence. While pleating behind the ears typically resolves over time, pleating in the malar area may persist and require further discussion regarding resolution and potential revision.
It appears that the vector of skin pull might've been a little bit off as well as the fact that your surgeon did not excise enough of the skin (it looks like the skin excision stops at the base of your temporal tuft but for this amount of excess, you need to chase it up higher in the temple). A scar revision could help.
so these are more common with deep plane techniques, but we see them in all types of facelift.The pleat forms where the surgical dissection stops and the normal tissue starts.I've seen this a couple of times and the best way I've seen to correct, it is by making a small tunnel, incision from the hairline down and release the tissue above the pleat. It's not guaranteed to work first time but I've had success with this technique.Hopefully that helps. If you have any other facelift questions, then I have a number videos on my YouTube channel Adam goodwin surgery that you might like to watch.Best wishes, Adam, Goodwin.

Hello! Yes, revision of a subperiosteal midface lift is possible. It's important to consult with a skilled facial surgeon who can assess the specific areas that need correction. They will consider factors such as the extent of the previous procedure, the desired outcome, and the condition of the...
Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your experience. From the photos, it appears that a revision facelift could potentially help, but it's crucial to understand what areas were addressed in the initial procedure. Since your head is down in the photos, it's challenging to assess your skin's condition...
Hello, hope you are well. Your photo shows the muscles underneath the chin have become skeletonized and now protrude creating the appearance of 'pouches'. It could be platysma, but more likely to be the digastric muscle bellies. (It would be helpful to see your operative report to see what was...
The photo is very limited but shows your platysma bands separated. It’s possible that the best thing to do is revise the entire facelift but I could only determine that by an in person exam
