It's been 12 months since my initial lift, but my board certified plastic surgeon revised the poor jowl and neck result by doing a corset platysmaplasty 8 months ago. My neck, jaw line, and sides of face are still extremely tight feeling; but, the skin does not look stretched and the incision sites have healed well. If the tightness (it is very uncomfortable) is from scar tissue formation, what can I do to step up the healing process? or is scar tissue permanent? My doc is too busy to see me.
facelift, and both should resolve with time. Since you had two procedures performed within a six month period, it may take longer for the feelings to resolve. Treatment options could include external ultrasound and massage, physical therapy, and a course of anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuproffen. Most important, however, is to re-establish a connection with your surgeon. Anyone who had the time to operate on you should have the time to see you after surgery, and you should call and insist on an appointment. Your treating surgeon knows your situation best and should be able to give you the answers you need.
anything i should know before getting a face lift so I won't end up looking all pulled up? I think they call it "wind swept" looking? this is NOT the results I want from surgery!
There are many different techniques for face lift surgery, and each utilizes a technique to "pull up" the underlying tissues as well as remove extra skin. If you want to have a more natural look, the underlying pull should be in a vertical direction to correct sagging from gravity and time. Depending on how much skin also needs to be removed, you may also benefit from one of the "short scar" approaches. The bottom line is to choose a cosmetic surgeon who has significant experience in facial cosmetic surgery, and then together choose the best approach for your particular situation.
