Full Face and Neck Lift 3 Months Ago. Jowls Have Come Back?

Jowling should not return so soon after a facelift.  The question is why type of facelift did you have?  Were the muscles tightened?  If so, you should not have the jowls come back at 3 months.  I see this sometimes with patients that go and have some type of mini lift or weekend lift where they only work on the skin.  You definitely need to discuss this with your surgeon.

Thanks for the question. First 24-48 hours after the operation face will be swelling. After 48 hours swelling will be decreases. Scalp area stitches are taken from the day 10. Final results may take 1 month. Patients can return to work after 1 week. The effect of gravity varies according to the aging speed and lifestyle but it provides an average permanent effect of 10 years. I wish you all the best.

Without photos, it is difficult to determine what areas of your face were lifted. But It sounds like your full facelift and necklift addressed : tightening neck, smoothing the jowls and lifting the cheeks. Any eyelid or forehead work would not affect the jowls.

The type of lifting procedure depends on how "saggy" the jowls are before surgery. Usually to lift the jowls, the deeper SMAS tissue to the skin needs to be tightened.

However, I would return to your plastic surgeon and review any improvement by before and after photography. Then you can discuss with your provider non-surgical and surgical options to reach your expectations and a satisfactory result.
