Asked By:4223_mae in Chicago, IL

Neck lipo with platysma plication and excess skin removal with single under chin incision 12 weeks ago. Bands more prominent and jawline less defined than before. I'm so unhappy. I'm getting married Feb. next year, I'm afraid there won't be time to fix this? I've spent so much money on this already I can't afford botox on top of the cost of this surgery. I got this done so I wouldn't have to spend $500 in btx every few months. I feel so deformed.
