I had a necklift past February 2023. I went to see doctor last week to discount results. He tightene the muscle under my chin, Platysmaplasty, and said I now need filler to complete the look. I have sagging skin still under chin area. I am not happy at all with results. What should I do? Is filler common after a Lower Rhytidectomy?

Answer: Revision Options Hello, hope you are well. Thank you for posting your photos and questions! Your issue is that there is still sagging skin under your chin. I am biased against using fillers in the lower face because augmenting the soft tissues of the jawline is contrary to the slim, tapered appearance of youth. The whole purpose of face- and neck lift surgery is to reduce fullness and soft tissue redundancy--why would you want to add more with fillers? In certain circumstances there may be a logical role for small amounts of dermal filler, but not to inflate visibly hanging skin or to try to camouflage jowls. It will make your face look swollen, or in the best case scenario the fillers temporarily improve your appearance before dissipating. Based on what can be seen here, a revision neck and facelift is going to be the most effective means to correct sagging skin.
