I'm unsure how I feel about my facelift. I'm unhappy with the scaring around, and behind my ears. I also have a fat pockets under my chin, and one side seems to be less tight. The dr has given me steroid injections in the scars. I hope this helps. It's like this on both sides. I've had major issues with the fat transfer from my abdomen to my breast from the other procedure so I will have to no get a tummy tuck as a revision:( This after many revisions. I'm hoping I do not need a scar revision on my ears but they are not healing well going into one year now. Also I'm wondering about the tightness under my chin? Will that need a revision? Ugh

I can't tell if these are just unflattering angles or losse skin and double chin issues. I would expect after a full facelift any looseness would be resolved. Have you asked soltero about this? Im considering one next year at 40 and nwould probably be a little unsatisfied if my submental area was still loose.

Healing up. The scars are looking better everyday. The ones in front of my ears are hardly noticeable. The scars behind my ears are still sensitive but healing great. I still have some swelling. More so at the end of the day, and more at the bottom of my chin check area. Ice is still soothing. I use it at night, just under my chin for about 20 min. Very happy with my results
