I am 4 months post op from lower face and neck lift. When I look forward with my head raised my jawline looks perfectly smooth. If I smile, turn or lower my head I have terrible creasing and folds in my left jawline and lower cheek (see photo). My right side looks perfectly fine. My PS thinks this may be scar tissue and wants to undermine this area and under my chin again.
If this is scar tissue, why does this happen? What's to prevent this from reoccuring with a revision? How long should I wait for revision surgery?

Answer: 4 Months Postop From Facelift Unfortunately, the photos are very limited and you are only 4 months postop from a Facelift. I would recommend that you wait at least a year before having revision surgery. If there is a significant aesthtic problem that requires correction, you can actually compound the problem by intervening too soon.

Answer: Waiting Time for Revision Facelift Except in cases where there has been a complication which requires urgent attention, the general rule is at least 6 months before revision facelift. Subtle changes will continue to occur up to a year, however. If you can wait that long, it may be worth considering.
