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: Some skin relaxation can lead to this as the other surgeons answered, there are several possible reasons for this. Posted swelling can stretch the skin somewhat and since most patients having a facelift are older, their skin doesn't bounce back as much after swelling and some skin laxity is formed. The neck laxity tends to be the one more difficult to get perfect results in.

Answer: Post-facelift neck sag. This is a really important question to ask and receive an answer. The simple truth is that no matter how tight a surgeon pulls, there is always some relaxation that occurs. Sometimes minimal. Sometimes more that one wants to see. The reason why this happens is because facelift patients have loose aging skin with loss of elasticity. That is why one desires correction. There are several excellent facelift techniques to improve the jawline and the neck but there is no surgical procedure to give you or anyone else tight, youthful skin again. This is why you and every other person contemplating this procedure must be realistic in regards to outcome.
