Sculpting Tool - Edges breaking when using sculpting tool in maya 2022

[Anonymous]

Step 1: Created the face 

Step 2: Created Eye Socket and attached to the face using Append to polygon

Step 3: Made the selected object live

Step 4: Selected the Sculpture tool "Lift a Surface"  by pressing Shift key  When i tried to smooth the face 

Expected: It should  smooth the face surface

Actual: The Faces are breaking 

For better understanding added before, after image . please find the attached .

Are you sure thise edges are welded?

Try to select one vertex and move them with the move tool.

There are faces ontop of faces and inverted geo.

Delete the whole area and make it new is the fastest way to fix it.
