Jowls have returned two months after facelift. (Photo)

Recurrent jowls after a facelift are very unusual, especially as soon as two months. There are many types of facelifts, and I feel that each face needs to be treated with the technique that would give the best, longest lasting result. A full evaluation would be necessary to evaluate the cause and treatment for the recurrent jowls. I would recommend that you just be honest with your surgeon and discuss the fact that you are disappointed that you are seeing a recurrence of your jowls.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Rejuvenation SpecialistQuintessa Aesthetic Centers

I know that it is frustrating, but two months post op is really too soon to judge your final results. It can take 6 months or longer for the swelling to fully subside. For now, be patient. If you are still unhappy in a few months, make an appointment to speak with your surgeon. 

Thank you for your question and pictures.  Two months is too premature to start factoring the results.  A facelift which targets the SMAS muscle can variety in longevity depending on the patients skin quality, lifestyle etc.  When the SMAS muscle has been targeted this is the reason for it lasting. If the skin is targeted ONLY this will only last a few months.  Typically patients who are older and have a lot of skin laxity, the results will not last as long as a younger patient with better quality skin.  Please consult your surgeon as sometimes its hard to predict patients skin, therefore it maybe a case of just needing a little adjustment which could be performed under local anaesthetic.  This is easy to rectify.  All The Best
