Am I Risking Excessive Tightness with a Lower Lift?

I had a neck lift in Jan 2009 to correct a sagging platysma muscle. My Plastic Surgeon suggested a mini lift to correct minor jowling. I was initially pleased with the results.However,I'm already starting to see a occurrence of jowls. I've had dermal fillers(radiesse ) injected into my jawline to help it's contour,but these injections are costly & I'm wondering if it's too soon for a revision. Am I risking a too tight jawline by a second lift? My surgeon suggests I should consider a 2nd.
