Hello, I've asked for help with this problem before. My crows feet are far worse after a facelift and not natural looking. Particularly the left side which has distinct folds when I smile. As suggested on realself I had botox, 3 months ago and again 2 weeks ago. I also had deep laser performed 8 weeks ago (full field ablative Sciton erbium). However dispite this my crows feet are still significant, but what bothers me the most is the unnatural looking folds. Please help.
Answer: Crows feet after facelift. This happens occasionally after a facelift. As you can imagine, when you lift the mid and lower facial tissues superiorly and posteriorly, it can make the areas around the eyes worse. Botulinum toxin helps, but not completely. It is sometimes necessary to lift some of the temporal skin at or behind the hairline. This can make a tremendous difference and can be done under local anesthesia. I would consult with your original surgeon to go over options.

Answer: Crows feet It sounds like your PS has offered you every non surgical option to try and improve this. With time there may be some improvement but if things have not settled at the 12-18 month point you may need revisionary surgery to elevate the skin flaps and reposition them.

Answer: Crows feet far worse after a facelift This appears to be related to several issues which include a very strong smile muscles, and thin skin along With misdirected re- draping of the skin during the facelift procedure. A revisional facelift procedure should be able to correct this along with some Botox.

Answer: Un-natural lines after facelift Dear Aussie,Thank you for your question. As mentioned, you have been abnormal and excessive rotation of the facial flap bilaterally, left greater than right. Correction, unfortunately, would require another surgical procedure. There are some challenges with a revision procedure as you appear to have had your incision placed in front of the ear tragus (the pointy part of the ear in front of the ear canal) on both sides. This makes a corrective procedure more possible, but it also makes any surgical result more visible. I hope this helps you as you find the best answer for you.My best,James M. Ridgway, M.D., FACS
