SMAS done 7 months ago. I now have a lateral sweep, dents & dimples with sagging skin on the sides of my mouth (Photo)

One reason the SMAS lift is not as desirable is because of this lateral sweep. Fixing this is not as easy, you have to re-lift the tissues which does not always fix the lateral sweep. Have a guarded optimism. Best of luck.

You did not ask any questions, so I suggest going back to your surgeon and discuss your concerns. Full face views would be most helpful.

Based on your nicely post of photos, I recommend secondary revision full open facelift with potential crafting two areas of denting and releasing of hanging tissue with muscle plication. Fee $15,000-$25,000. Best virtual consult with.
