Bad Necklift for 3rd Revision? (photo)

A suture suspension neck lift is not a true neck lift.  While it may contour your neck, the underlying anatomy (muscles) are not tightened and the overlying lose skin is not removed.  Additionally, all of the dermal attachments causing wrinkles in the skin (as seen in your photographs) are not release, so you basically end up with a bunched up and unnatural appearance.  Suture suspension neck lift is good in some candidates, but if you are looking for improvements, I would suggest a traditional short scar neck lift so that the skin can be elevated, the dermal attachments release and the underlying muscles tightened.  This is the what will give you the best and most long lasting results.

 

Good Luck.

I am sure this has been stressful for you. While difficult to comprehend, time is on your side. you will continue to normalize. Do not rush into any surgery. Get a few different opinions. Be sure your physician helps you understand what realistic expectations should be at this point.

    A revision may be reasonable, but I would have to see the pictures from different perspectives or examine you in person.  In addition, it would be helpful to see the changes in your face and neck from before the first surgery and the progression.  Although many surgeons will tell you that something can be improved it is important to examine what has been done and how your anatomy has responded.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
