Need Help With A Revision Neck Lift, Looking For LA Surgeon.

I had a face/necklift in August 2010. A month after it looked like too much fat removed and muscle was prominent. 6 months later surgeon did vy plasty said too much skin still. Looked great for one month and same thing happened. Have been to 3 other surgeons, all say this is tricky. Not enough fat left and muscle is prominent and skin is adhering. I am so depressed as the neck was the thing I went in for in the first place. Please help me with a facial doctor that is sincere in Los Angeles area.

Revision neck lift after too much fat removal.

I have done patients like you before but it is very involved surgery. If it is stuck down, I do a type of modified tummy tuck and remove a large piece or 2 pieces if it is on both sides and sew it in place. Fat injections usually don't give good results since they tend to produce irregularities.

Neck Lift Video: Neck Lift Revision and Fat grafting could be the answer

The prominent neck muscles may just need to be tightened more and with a better technique. Many times when you don't tighten the muscle enough the banding shows more. So revising your neck could be the answer. If there is not much fat you could do fat grafting to improve the lack of fat after the revision to tighten the neck even more... more
