3 Months Post-Facelift and Still Have Jowls

Swelling from a facelift can take some time to resolve and this swelling could mimic jowling; However, at 3 months, it is odd that the jowling is still present.  Liposuction or smart lipo is not a good idea in this area.  Talk to your surgeon about your concerns and visit a couple of others to get different opinions and then decide.  Also, wait at least 9-12 months before having it revised.

Good morning!It sounds like you would be best suited to get at least one more opinion from another surgeon as to what would be best for your  issues at hand.  Be sure to see a reputable well established board certified plastic surgeon.  This is your face, and spending a few hundred dollars on consulting fees are well worth it to be sure you are getting good non biased advice as to what would be best for you.I hope this helps

It is very difficult to answer your question without seeing you in person and examining you.  What you perceive as jowls may not be correctable with additional surgery.

I’m not sure how a second doctor can say that this is “not normal”, for depending on the thickness and elasticity of the skin, there can sometimes be the need for a more aggressive touch up.

If your surgery was 3 months ago, your only option right now is to wait at least a year despite your disappointment.  A Facelift is generally an excellent procedure for jowls.  However, results can vary based on who was doing it and what technique was used. If you had one of the quickie "branded lifts", 3 months is about all you were going to get out of it anyway.
