I Have Draping Under My Chin 1 Year Post-op Neck & Facelift, What Should I Do?

June 7, 2011
Asked By:Samantha1234

I noticed some draping under the chin coming down from the scar within a few months after surgery. From my profile I think I look like I have jowling. Just not a perfect jawline. My plastic surgeon has told me this is due to salivary glands that are more visible now. He told me that there is not much that can be done but is consulting with an ENT specialist for suggestions. I wanted him to tighten the draping but he said it would look the same in 6 months. Any suggestions? see pictures
