I've noticed in many "after" pics that there seems to be more often than not loose skin right under chin on many patients. I want to rid myself of that double chin/turkey thing but am having second thoughts when I see these photos. I am looking to regain my jawline and rid myself of that extra skin under chin. A lot are at 6 mos-I would expect better results & these photos are from various surgeons. Why is that?

Answer: A facelift will not always yield a perfect result.
Botox can be safely administered following facelift once the initial swelling has subsided. You would be best to ask your surgeon for a definitive answer, but typically at the 2 week point you should be ok.
Periorbital edema can sometimes last for a long time but it will eventually resolve. Fat transfer can cause a lot of persistent swelling especially if liquefied fat (not fat cells) have not been separated away. This should resolve with time.
Great question!
It looks like you have something called facial asymmetry, which is, as the name describes, some asymmetry in a part of your face when compared to the opposite side. This is fairly normal and most people have some degree of asymmetry. One thing I would consider with the eye...
