Asked By:mjnutt in Ashland, VA

I am 3 months post op of a neck, face and coronal brow lift. I have pleating in my neck which is visible at rest and even more so when I raise my head to look up. Why did this happen? will it go away? or is a revision necessary? I did have liposuction in this area also.
