What's Involved in a Neck Lift Revision?
I am 4 months out from a neck lift and soon after I was seeing sagging on both sides of my under the chin area. My jowls seem to be in the same condition they were prior to the lift. My ps is planning a revision (local) to remove excess skin.. How this may be done, I'm not sure. Are you familiar with the method? He is planning a 90 minute proceedure.

Revision neck lift
Withotu an exam it is difficult to say what you would need. However, some combination or incisions udner the chin and along the border of the ears would probably be necessary.

Revision neck lift
It sounds like you had some sort of quickie lift done. Fortunately, it sounds like your plastic surgeon will do a revision for you without charging you. I always tell patients to expect minimal results from minimal procedures. You probably needed a more substantial operation to help you achieve what you wanted.
