2 years post Facelift and unhappy with cheek area - what is this and how can it be corrected? (photo)

Question

I had jaw surgery with neck lipo and then needed a face/neck lift to fix loose skin. The facelift was 2 years ago and now I’m seeing this on my cheek. This side of my face was always worse, but what is that and what is the best fix? I’d prefer something that’s not filler if possible. Do I need another lift? Is there a lift that can fix it? Should I ask the previous surgeon to help?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello mayalea! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Shah Facial Plastics. Thank you for your question. Based on your concerns, I recommend trying a radiofrequency treatment called Morpheus or having a thread lift on the side of concern. However, I highly recommend scheduling an in-person consultation in order to better assess your face and discuss an appropriate treatment plan to help achieve your aesthetic goals. Our office phone number is: (312) 944-0117. I hope this helps and best of luck!

Hi there,
Filler would be great for you!  Also sleeping on your back would help as it appears that you sleep on the side with volume loss.  See an expert injector for best results. 
Best of luck!
