Answer: What is the best treatment for laxity after lower face lift? Best treatment? Depends.Much depends on the length of time since the procedure was performed. Sometimes the skin will continue to tighten, even a year after the procedure. Nevertheless, skin laxity can be improved with a "tuck-up" procedure, or sometimes non-surgically with an Ultherapy treatment or a skin resurfacing procedure, such as a thorough fractional CO2 laser.The link below offers more information on Ultherapy.I hope this helps.

Answer: Skin laxity after facelift It is very common to feel like the skin has "relaxed" when the swelling has subsided shortly after facelift surgery. The postoperative edema and induration can stretch the skin and give a smoother appearance. Skin quality and elasticity varies between patients. Many factors, including genetics, age, nutrition, smoking, and sun exposure all play a part in this. Keep in mind that although you feel like the skin has somewhat relaxed, the underneath muscle tightening is still in place. You have also had loose skin permanently removed with your procedure, which is no longer contributing to the minor laxity that you see.
