What Should I Do About Bad Necklift Results?

It sounds like you no longer have a healthy relationship with your doctor. I would recommend getting a second opinion with a facial rejuvenation expert. However, take everything you hear at the second opinion consultation with a grain of salt. Some Doctors unfortunately like to bad mouth previous surgeries/surgeons. There are three scenarios that may happen.


1. You may require revision facelift and neck lift

2. You may be in the healing phase and require further time to heal

3. You may have gotten optimal outcome based on your age and anatomy.

I am sorry to read of your disappointment. I suggest  you begin by consulting with your plastic surgeon, or, seek a new one if you feel more comfortable.Typically, it's best to wait 6 to 12 months depending on the reason for #revision. As with all #cosmetic surgery, results will be rewarding if expectations are realistic. With any surgical #procedure and #revision, there are some risks of unhappy outcome or other complications which your surgeon should discuss with you during your consultation. Your procedure should always be performed by a #PlasticSurgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in cosmetic #surgery. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for additional revision surgery.

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. 

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.

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.
