I had a DP facelift and N/L in Jan. I went in for these puffs on the sides of my mouth area and my sagging neck and was told no problem to correct these. In February the puffs started returning and the neck has issues as well still. I’d like feedback and thoughts on if indeed I was given a deep plane and neck lift? What needs to be done to correct these issues? Thank you

Answer: Correct I would recommend a revision facelift/necklift. The platysmal bands are still visible in the midline. There is still some laxity and prominence in the jowl area. I would highly recommend finding a board-certified or board-eligible plastic surgeon with 6 years of integrated plastic surgery residency training and aesthetic fellowship training. This highly differs from all other specialties who claim to be plastic surgeons including "facial plastic surgeon", "oculoplastic surgeon", "cosmetic surgeons", and other imposters out there. Best of luck!

Answer: Was the DP facelift & N/L done properly? Hello @IS1894is, thank you for your question. It's difficult to give a definitive answer without examination. Keep in mind that several factors can influence the healing process following surgery. These factors include the surgical technique used by the surgeon, the type of procedure performed, and the level of recovery the patient is experiencing. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
