Skin still sags after necklift. Is this common? (Photo)

Hello, hope you are well. Based on these photos, in addition to sagging skin we also see platysmal banding (the two vertical lines in your central neck). These bands are caused by a thin sheet of muscle directly under the skin. The bands can be corrected with a platysmaplasty. For skin laxity and jowling, you may consider a facelift alongside the revision neck lift.

This can occur even after neck lift surgery. It depends on if you had no sagging after surgery and now you feeling like it has partially recurred, or if it was always like this even in the immediate post-operative period. Every patient is different with different healing and skin elasticity properties. Since you recently underwent surgery (within the year), I would try botox to these vertical platysmal bands first to see if there is an improvement, before considering any neck lift revision. You may find that the botox smoothens out the appearance of the bands to your satisfaction. Hope this helps!

Great posted photos! You appear to have had a mini neck lift. In my opinion you now need full open face/neck lift to improve the results . expect fees in the $15,000 ranges. Best to virtual consult with....
