Are there some cases where SMAS tissue doesn't soften after facelift?

( I think most women on here would agree that the reason we pose our questions to other surgeons, is because it's just good to know what others think.) I had a facelift with a very reputable surgeon 13 months ago. He's always been there if I need to speak to him but he doesn't know why I STILL have stiffness in the muscles at the sides of my face and jawline. When I smile, there's restriction and I am constantly massaging the area. My face looks fine, it's all going on underneath.
