Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. Since you didn’t receive your desired results from the lift and microneedling treatments, you may be a good candidate for a full facelift, possibly combined with a neck lift to address the loose skin under the jawline. These surgical procedures can reduce facial creases and fallen tissue while improving the skin’s elasticity. A facelift/neck lift could be the best option for addressing sagging skin that may be contributing to the puckering you describe. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon for a full individual analysis.

I believe that last two photos represent your current situation 11 months after lift? Very likely, you will benefit from revision, in particular correction of visible scar-muscle bands. Unable to discuss about face/jawline, which may also be included in this procedure (lower face/neck revision??). In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in face/neck lifts, is recommended. Good luck.

It is unfortunate you are experiencing this complication. You should have had facelift on the first place. All is not lost. A deep plane facelift-in the right, experienced hands - may give you the result you seek and correct this current issue. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS
