I had a neck and lower face lift a year ago. It was clear the day after the op. that there was a "pull" to the right hand side of my mouth towards my right ear when I talked, pursed my lips or kissed. A slight pull to the left developed. They are now a permanent feature even when I am not talking. I had no other problems. Quite simply, overall the face lift is great. Jowels and turkey gobble have gone. Gobble has come back a bit since swelling went down. However, I look like the cat from the Owl and the p***y cat. Either side of my mouth, markedly to the right, is a "twirl", a "pull" or a line travelling upwards towards my ears following the direction in which the skin would have been lifted. Skin doesn't create age lines in this direction. I saw my surgeon two months after the op. but he just said I looked fantastic, that he didn't think it was as a result of the op. and may be I was just making a fuss. He suggested filler at my expense. Any corrections need to be done within the year. Family and friends all agree that the "pulls" shouldn't be there. They make me look like a right little madam. Any suggestions?
