Lower face lift with platysmoplasty - Is the scar under my chin supposed to look like this?

Question

It’s been about 13 months since my surgery

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.

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

It is not unusual to see this kind of result after treatment of full neck; scarring and skin elasticity are not completely under control of a surgeon. Flattening the scar with taping for several months at night and/or revision using fine liposuction cannula (to release scar and correct small scar/fat irregularities), topical injection of Botox and Kenalog,  may be considered. Good luck.
