Neck lift revision

I think you can see from the answers that nobody is pleased with the result you are showing. This isn't the kind of thing that will get better on its own to the point where you will be happy. The reason for waiting is to allow the tissues to settle down to better handle the revision you will probably need. Unless the surgeon you went to was a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with an excellent reputation and lots of experience, you may well need to seek... more

Give neck lift time to heal

After six months to a year more surgery can be done to improve your appearance, possibly. The surgeon wouild determine what the risks would be and then you can decide if it's worth it for you to undergo more surgery.

Bad necklift results and what to do.

See a revision facelift surgeon who is very experienced, since you don't want a novice making things worse. He will be able to examine the area and give you advice. No surgery for a minimum of 6 months.

Improving a poor necklift result

From what I can see, I think your necklift result will need to be revised to look your best. Revision may require re-doing the incisions under your chin and around your ears to allow re-tightening the neck muscles and removing excess skin. I would feel comfortable revising this result 4-6 months after the original surgery.

Necklift complications

Based on the photo, it appears that too much fat was removed, creating an irregular appearance under your chin. You should wait several months before contemplating revision surgery. Instead, simple things like botox may be helpful.

Necklift Result

Although it seems as if fat was over-excised from the area under your chin, this determination cannot be made without a physical examination and review of your preoperative films. Revision surgery on the neck is best delayed for at least 1 year.

Neck lift

It is difficult to say for sure what is goinjg on by the one photo. An exam is key. It looks perhaps that the neck skin is a bit loose, but that also may be muscle banding with a possibility of overtreated fat excision?

Unhappy with neck lift result

For the most part, I agree with the other responses. It does appear that too much fat was removed and that the muscle edges are visible. Regardless, I think it is wise to wait at least six months after your surgery before considering a revision. Make sure to see someone who has experience with revision neck lift surgery.

Too little fat in the neck can look bad

You have nice jawline and overall neck result, but it looks like too much fat was removed from just beneath your chin. It also looks like the muscles weren't tightening in that area, which is causing those lines you see. You are only 3 months out from surgery, though, and I wouldn't want to do a revision for at least 6 months (3 more months), assuming everything is soft by then. Do see a surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and does... more
