The paired jowls interfere with the contour of the jaw line as it moves from
the chin up to the ears. In the after picture, that contour is more
triangular; in the before, the jowls make burbles in the smooth line of the
jaw. Note that her melolabial folds
did not improve with the face lift, as they typically do not.
Her lower eyelids sit in a low position as a complication of lower eyelid
surgery that was performed elsewhere. The eyelid surgery tutorial's
chapter on lower eyelid surgery contains a discussion
on what can happen to the eyelids when
the eyelid operation isn't performed with judgment and care.

Questioner:
Is There a Way to Put a Very Slight Curve in my Nose Without Surgery?
I had a revision surgery 3 weeks ago. I was left with a too scooped nose so I wanted cartilage places to make it a little more straight with a slight curve. I feel that my nose is too straight now. Is it possible to get a slight curve without having surgery again?
(Questioner submitted photos)
Dr. Denenberg's answer: Revision rhinoplasty takes longer to show the final result
Hi, Eliza, Three weeks is too early to judge the results of a revision rhinoplasty. Your nose will be changing and losing swelling for at least a year, more likely 18 months or so. Also, revision rhinoplasty is so difficult, that it's rarely wise to operate to change anything "slightly." Every time you have surgery, some new feature will appear to bother you. My opinion is that you should back burner the idea of more surgery for at least a year or so.
