Cheek Swollen 2 Years After Facelift
I am 52 and had a full face lift and eye lift 2 yrs ago, the surgery took 8 hours and the right side of my face was quite bruised and swollen for quite some time. Now my right side is still quite a bit bigger than my left side, when I smile I look like a chipmunk on one side. Still have very little feeling in that cheek. Is there anything I can do? I did ultrasound for up to a year after the surgery. I also have very noticable scars on my eyelids. and the scars behind my ears still ache too.
Facial asymmetry years after face lift
Thanks for your question. This sounds like there may be scar tissue from residual hematoma or fat necrosis. The question is how best to restore balance to your face. This may include fat grafting to one side or scar resection. The key is to find a plastic surgeon familliar with facelift redos. (Something we see a fair amount of in our San Francisco office.) I hope this helps!
