Face Pulled Down After Neck Lift
Five weeks ago, I had a neck lift with sutures around the ears that pulled so tight they pulled my face downward, giving me a gaunt, older look.
What are the chances that my normal face and features will return when the sutures dissolve? I am devastated right now. Thank you.

Necklifts come in many flavors!
I am not sure why you describe these issues. Only you and your plastic surgeon can figure them out. However, here are a few possible causes;
1- the tension on the earlobes may pull them down a bit.
2- the necklift had some facelift components, and the horizontal pull of you face makes it look windblown - "the Nike Swoop".
3- Perception always plays some role in facial rejuvenation. Perhaps compare your photos from before the surgery with current ones....

Necklifts don't pull faces down.
