If so why would this Happen? I have hollowing under my eyes and indentations in my malar cheek area that was not there before my deep plane facelift. My nasal folds are still sagging. I look older than I did before the surgery. What are my options for correcting this unfortunate result. Thank you

Answer: Is it possible to have a lateral sweep from a deeplane facelift? Yes, but very unlikely in experienced hands.A lateral sweep in a term given to a certain "look" after a facelift, typically performed using muscle layer (SMAS) "plication", limited deep-plane or only skin tightening techniques. A thorough deep plane lift (e.g., high-smas lift) (with or without fat transfer) will typically correct and prevent the lateral sweep from occurring.Specifically a lateral sweep look is when the skin from the corners of your mouth to you earlobe hangs down, much like a tennis net hangs down between the two poles. I hope this helps.

Answer: Facelift Thank you for the question and sharing your concerns. A lot depends on how long ago you had the procedure. If it has been within weeks then any distortions you may see can still be related to swelling. If these persist after three months, I would revisit your surgeon to discuss your concerns.
