1.5 years post op - what could have caused issues with my facelift and what can I do to correct the falling? (photos)

Asked By:Barca1016 in Chicago, Illinois

I’m a 57 yr old woman who had a deep tissue face/neck lift 1.5 years ago. Initially I was pleased but eventually, at 7 months, the lift started falling accompanied by constant pain along the incision lines and through the neck. Hypertrophic scarring began and has not stabilized. I have a new double chin and jowls are back. I need to hide my ears as the scarring has kept growing around them, circling the bottoms where I feel a constant pull and pain..Any ideas as to what has happened?
