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: Marionette Lines The marionette area may not be helped by a facelift. Often when you see people that look too tight it is because they went after this area with a lateral pull and ended up making the person look as if they were in a wind tunnel. An excision in this area if it is due to extra skin or possibly a filler can help. If it is due to lines around the lips you will need resurfacing by either laser or peel. For the really deep lines, filler can help as well.

Answer: Marionette lines 3 weeks after a facelift You may still notice some improvement after the swelling subsides, however wrinkles and folds may not be corrected from a Facelift alone. This is especially so with any perioral wrinkles including the marionette lines. If not resolved from a facelift and fat grafting, you may need to consider additional procedures such as fillers or a marionette line incision that can be done under local anesthesia.

Answer: Marionette lines These lines may not completely resolve with a facelift although they should be significantly better, specially with fat grafting in the area. If these are very fine lines, a perioral peel can help.

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.
