Oh no, second neck lift falling
$11,000
Look at this- 6 months after my second procedure my neck is sagging again. The profile view is still ok but look at this saggy skin and fat under my neck. This is not the way I want to look after going through two procedures. I am at a loss as to what to do really.

8 weeks after second surgery
I am posting a few photos that show the improvement of the second surgery. Again, the first time was a neck lift, the second time was a neck lift with lower face lift. My face was not sagging whatsoever, but in order for me to get decent results on my neck a lower face lift was needed. This really shows that when it comes to the neck, there's no such thing as too much tightening. If you are trying to get the least amount of work possible, I want to tell you that from my experience this is not a good idea. You won't get results and will end up spending more money to have it re-done. If I had known then what I know now, I would have gotten this procedure to begin with and would be completely healed by now. These are pictures before the revision and after the revision. The picture from underneath the neck really shows the difference. The 'before' pictures were taken AFTER my first procedure - look at all that sagging skin I still had.

Thank you for the update and I'm glad things are better now. I can see the difference. I'm going Tuesday for my neck revision and new boobs. I am scared but ready to have it over with soon. I pray my neck skin will be tight this time.

How are your ear lobes? How is your neck too? I'm a little over a week on the chin repair and I am looking at more work on the chin area...I was so upset but understand how tuff the chin repair can be with so much skin hanging from my weight loss. He did a good job removing the fat above and below the muscle on my chin. All the best!

I got some filler injected into my earlobes, it made the creases much less noticable.

Neck lift part two
Today I had my neck re done, with a lower face lift. It is definitely a bigger procedure than just the face lift. It takes longer and I am hurting more the second time around. The pain is manageable with medication. I have to say, don't get this procedure under local anesthesia if you are squeamish or nervous. You can hear the cutting of the skin, etc. and its a little weird. I will be home for at least five days, and when I do go out it will only be to go to work. I'm getting the dressing removed tomorrow and then will see what the stitches look like. I will post again in a couple of weeks.

Although I was to have a revision done last week, my surgeon, Dr. Fiorillo and nurse Vicki felt I would do better having Dr. Giampapa do it using the G string method. I have a consult with him on the 27th, unfortunately it would cost another $4,000.00. Not happy with that but I want to be satisfied. Hope you are feeling better.

I was wondering if you had to pay for 2nd procedure? Can't wait to see photos and am praying you get the results you are hoping for.

Didn't Dr Yang have to do skin cutting when he lifted your neck using local anesthetic. Why would the face lift cutting be any different. Both incision areas are close to the ears so other than the length of time what exactly is the difference. I'm interested b/c the surgeon who I am considering for a facelift does his technique almost exactly as Dr Yang. tks, grace

There are cuts in more places. For just a neck lift there is a scar under the chin & behind the ears, wrapping around the lower earlobe. With the lower face lift there are additional scars in front of the entire ear & the hairline at the sides. Maybe because it took longer I felt more awake also.
