How frequent does a "dimple" on the cheek happen from a deep internal suture from a neck/lower face lift and how long does the dimple take to release and smooth out? Short term, will a hyaluronic filler work to fill the indent in?
Answer: Cheeks neck Than you for your question; It is not uncommon for patients to have dimple after a SMAS face lift that that effect is due to the attachment of the skin to the SMAS. Normally that dimple goes away after a few weeks.

Answer: Need to come in to consult 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.

Answer: Occasionally Little "dimples" can be a temporary occurrence after a facelift and are often due to areas of skin that didn't need to be elevated or from swelling. They usually resolve on their own with just a little patience and massage. I would not recommend filer in the area as it is healing. If they persist after 6 months, other options exist to get rid of them like subcision, but most likely they will go away on their own. As always, best to consult with your surgeon since they know your face the best.

Answer: Cheek Dimpling After a Facelift? This isn't uncommon after a SMAS based facelift and usually resolves within a few weeks. This is related to placement of fixation sutures in the SMAS, coupled with expected postoperative lymphatic outflow obstruction. I would not recommend a filler or other interventions to correct this over time and patience.

Answer: Facelift The dimple that you describe may be due to pulling of the skin by the underlying lifted facial structures. In the operation room. this can be prevented by separating the skin from these deeper layers to prevent pulling. In most cases when this occurs, the skin smooths out in a few weeks as the swelling resolves and the skin relaxes. If it does not smooth out, the irregularity may be due to a soft tissue deficit in the area which may be treated with fillers or fat transfer. I recommend that you bring these issues up to your plastic surgeon so they can determine the cause and treat you appropriately.
