8 months post op, neck lift seems to be failing. Can this be fixed? (photos)

June 3, 2017
Asked By:CheerfullySassy in Vancouver, BC

I had a face and neckline over eight months ago and was especially happy with the neck improvements. In the past 2-3 months my neck seems to be changing and not in a good way. A double chin seems to be developing (although I didn't have one before surgery) and the center area is collapsing and separating. I am still happy with the effects of the facelift (cheeks are smother and lifted). Can this neck be improved? I have included a photo from January (5 months ago, 4 months after surgery).
