Answer: Recurrence of neck looseness after lower facelift
Your problem may lie in the type of procedure performed... or not.
Many minilifts or neck-only lifts do nothing for the jowl area, and little to pick up and adjust the deeper, or SMAS, tissues. They are just not powerful enough. Once the swelling goes down, the disappointing results become apparent.
Fortunately, it is possible to revise the necklift and correctly elevate and fix the SMAS to a higher position.
This assessment is quite speculative, however, and we don't see a photograph of your before-after pictures and a description of what was done in surgery, so nobody can do anything more than speculate and speak generally about procedures.
In some cases, no matter who the surgeon, the neckline will not be perfect if there is a large amount of soft tissue to adjust or if the bone support is not adequate.

Answer: Swelling can hide the final appearance for more than three months after a neck lift and liposuction
Many patients who have neck liposuction see swelling distort their features for a few months after surgery. If the liposuction is combined with surgery, such as a neck lift, platysmaplasty, etc. then the swelling can be more severe. Keep your followup appointments and see the improvement along with your doctor. Many patients are told by their surgeons that they should wear a compression garment which may help make the swelling recede faster.

Answer: Will neck sagging improve 4 weeks after neck lift?
It is hard to say whether your neck skin will tighten further at this stage (especially without seeing you in person and examining your neck).
However, there is more healing to occur and your skin may tighten some more. Continuing to wear your compressive neck dressing at night may help with this process.
At 56 the neck skin may not have enough elasticity to contract fully after neck lift. This can be improved with a facelift procedure to tighten the underlying muscles and remove excess skin.

Answer: Swelling after Neck Lift
Hi Spokane6975-
Swelling after neck surgery is generally 90% better after twelve weeks. Sleeping elevated and wearing a support strap at home and at night help. Long term neck lift results really depend on the quality of the neck skin - it's elasticity, sun damage and genetics. Be patient - it's still early ion the process.
Sincerely,
Tom Kaniff
