8 months post op - am I experiencing cobra neck deformity? (photos)

Nikki5984
I had a lower facelift including neck lift by an experienced Boston plastic surgeon 8 months ago. I’m not happy with the skin still hanging down on my neck and there is a hollow area between the two folds that really bothers me. Is this cobra neck deformity that occurs when a neck lift is botched? Would most women be happy with this result? I have made an appointment to see the surgeon who did the procedure but at my last follow up with him he seemed to think that this was the best it could be.
