I had a full facelift and brow lift August 5th. Healing very well as far as bruising but did have complication of parotid leak which has resolved. I am disappointed to see the marionette lines around my mouth are still there. Will they resolve as cheek swelling resolves. I had a fat transfer there as well

Answer: Facelift post op, some advices: Thanks for the question.It's too early to talk about final results. When we perform a facelift we try not to let stigmas as the brands that you mean. I recommend to wait at least a month when the swelling has decrease to see and give an opinion of the surgery. Also, i recommend you to send your photos to us to give you more information of your interest.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Answer: Why am I seeing the same marionette lines as before full facelift Facelifts are a wonderful technique for treating jowls and redundant skin of the neck in addition to descent of the cheeks. It is not unfortunately as good a technique for taking care of wrinkles especially around the mouth. Fat Transfers can help but if your wrinkles are etched into the skin fat injections are limited in effectiveness. It is not uncommon to utilize hyaluronic gel injections following a facelift for this reason.
