I am three months post surgery from a SMAS lower facelift. My neck had very little improvement and I expected a better result. As time goes on, my neck skin gets looser. I took very good care of myself post surgery. I am not overweight or a smoker. I am very disappointed. Can my neck be improved?

Answer: Disappointment following facial rejuvenation. Hello, and thank you for your request. I am sorry to hear that you're still having problems following your procedure. It is difficult based upon the pictures were shown to see her overall result. I do believe the photo exposure seems to be different and you do have some skin aging changes that may be improved with a good medical aesthetician. I would recommend to follow up with your treating surgeon to discuss all of these findings. Best a block.

Answer: Is my neck as good as it can be 3 months after my lower #facelift? Thank you for your picture.I agree that your neck has been improved yet not as good as you might have expected.Was the front part of the neck opened and the muscle repair? There are controversies in opening or not the front of the neck but I open most anterior necks in my practice. If it was not done, perhaps it could be contemplated; it is a simple procedure on itself and can be done under local anesthesia and IV sedation.It would be good to have the OR note prior to recommending a treatment but if the anterior neck was already done, you might need another SMAS-skin correction.Best regards.
