My lower face has dropped - Do I need a revision? (Photo)

Hi there! It is a good time to check in with your surgeon and see whether they have seen this happen to their other patients and if they can offer you a reasonable solution. It is hard to tell exactly why this area may have been refractory to lifting and smoothing out, but it certainly may be due to technique or even secondary to things that were done prior to surgery such as use of permanent fillers, energy devices, etc. I strongly recommend having a good follow up with your original surgeon and perhaps a second opinion from another local surgeon who can examine you in person. Good luck!

Hi Lady . photo is not optimal bur İt seems here , this doesnt look like a drooping . İt seems like irregularty caused by scarring or granulomas or may be grafting . i dont know which technique is being used , and which procedures are being performed , you can talk with your surgeon for possible reasons .

Hello. From your photo, I can see that you have significant laxity in your lower face and this is not typical of a well done deep plane facelift. Some customization of the deep plane technique is often required to specifically address each patient's need, as seen in your case here. I would recommend a revision lower facelift combined with Morpheus8/FaceTite for best results to take care of the skin laxity around the mouth where the facelift cannot treat.

Hi - I’m a facial plastic surgeon who specializes in deep plane facelift. There are situations when we would recommend going back and performing a revision facelift even early on like your situation. What type of facelift did you have? Also more angles and better photos would help the Realself community guide you. Below is a useful link about revision facelifts. Best of luck

At six months after a deep plane facelift, most of the swelling has resolved, and we can accurately evaluate your lower face contour. A revision facelift can be considered, and in your case, adding Endotine suspension may help provide stronger, longer-lasting support to the midface and lower face. This technique reinforces the lift and can improve definition along the jawline.If you are also concerned about the length of the upper lip or changes around the mouth, an upper lip lift can be performed at the same time to enhance balance and rejuvenation in the perioral area.
