Can a Revision and Improvement Be Made to Neck and Chin over Correction and Scar Under Chin?
I have performed Face Lifts for over 25 years and IMHO, from the photos provided, the roll under the chin is most likely due to muscle plication and or fat removal to that area as a localized Neck Lift. The excess fat can be removed and the skin flaps flattened out but this will most likely require a Full Neck Lift at this point. Hope this helps.

Yes, certainly something can be done to improve your post operative appearance/ condition. Consider obtaining a copy of your operative report. A physical exam will be a necessity to determine on how best to correct your concern. Consider a consult with a member of the ASAPS in your area. They are experts in revisional cosmetic surgery.

Fold in Neck after Neck Lift
This may be encountered in cases of fluid collection, extremely loose skin, aggressive fat resection, or a combination. I would wait at least 3 to 6 months before doing a revision. In short, some of the skin can be removed to improve the result.
