Is There a Serious Risk of Cheek Bumpiness After a MACS Facelift?

Lafonzo
I am seriously considering having a MACS facelift. I had a full facelift 7 years ago and one cheek remained bruised for a long time, so I know that I have thin skin as well as a thin face. I have researched a lot and am aware that there can be bumpiness in the cheeks caused by the deep sutres, and I am very concderned that with a thin face I might have long lasting bumpiness. Is this a realistic concern and would there be any treatment should this occur.
