Liposuction: Too Much Fat Removed

Hi I had sub-mental liposuction and thread lift that did not yield good results. Basically to much fat was removed and it exposed my platysma bands. My PS removed the threads and performed a mini neck lift "without" incisions behind my ears. I still have some banding issues causing indentations and also my face is lopsided. I am now in repair mode and I'm looking for any advice on how this might be fixed so I may make a better informed decision.

The most difficult problem to correct is agreeesive removal of your playsma muscle. It does not appear to have been done in your case. You will require a general... more

Correcting distortion of neck

A thread lift can be very unreliable because there is a limited degree of control. Some of these distortions may improve with time. If not, a more traditional face/neck lift may help.
