Swelling does not subside on jowls and look saggy, tender and kind of hard 9 1/2 weeks after several face procedures. Normal?

I'm not sure of the technique used for the facelift, as results can vary considerably depending on the technique. A lip lift can cause a significant amount of swelling that tends to settle, due to the pull of gravity, in the jowl area and corners of the mouth for awhile. Only time will tell how things will settle out after all the swelling settles. There is nothing that any surgeon would do at this point anyhow, even if he/she knew that residual jowling was going to be the result. So you will have to wait at least 6 months before starting to discuss final results or any considerations for touchups or additional surgery. Swelling can be unpredictable in its resolution, so be patient.

Thank you for your question and photos. You are still in the recovery stage. Recovery can take up to 9 months. Within this time all of the swelling will start to subside. Be sure to keep your follow ups with your surgeon.

Sagging skin, lumps, jowls following facelift etc. It is hard for me to speak directly to your situation, but I would say it generally is the goal of the procedures you had to remove or reduce the offending features you now say plague you. I would suggest discussing your discontent with your surgeon and ask what his/her remedy might be.
