Jed H. Horowitz, MD, FACS · Answer

Without before, and, current photos, it's difficult to access the additional options that may benefit you. I suggest  you begin by consulting with your plastic surgeon, or, seek a new one if you feel more comfortable.Typically, it's best to wait 6 to 12 months depending on the reason for #revision. As with all #cosmetic surgery, results will be rewarding if expectations are realistic. With any surgical #procedure and #revision, there are some risks of unhappy outcome or other complications which your surgeon should discuss with you during your consultation. Your procedure should always be performed by a #PlasticSurgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in cosmetic #surgery. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for additional revision surgery.

Though it may not be what you wish to hear, if there is loose / saggy skin after a neck lift, it is unlikely that liposuction will improve it.  A better result would come from a revision, possibly under only local anesthesia to tighten / lift this area a bit more.  Address this with your plastic surgeon.

Neck Lift is performed for severe neck laxity and looseness of the Platysma neck muscle. The procedure will restore the youthful acute angle of the neck and tighten the skin BUT it cannot shrinkwrap extreme sun damaged skin.  Without a photograph or examination it is impossible to determine if your skin laxity is associated with the way the surgery was done, with the way you heal and or the quality of your skin. The solution / treatment, if any, would depend on YOUR particular circumstances.

If your skin is still sagging after a neck lift, then liposuction will not tighten the skin. You may need a revision.
