Question

6 months post op - I had an extended deep plane face and necklift/platysmaplasty. My neck is my biggest concern out of the two procedures right now. I have a pocket like apppearnce underneath with some dips, bumps and uneveness. At times it also stings. I have had two other consults suggest i need it fine tuned. Thoughts?

Hello, hope you are well. I cannot see a photo attached to your post--it may need to be resubmitted. The most common reason for what you describe is generally excessive de-fatting of the skin in an attempt to create as sharp a jawline as possible. When did your neck lift take place? I wouldn't introduce any more trauma to the area for at least a year after the original surgery. With approval of your surgeon, I would suggest massaging the area. Ultimately you may need either a revision or fat grafting to smooth out the area, but its hard to say without seeing photos and knowing when the procedure took place.
Best,Dr. Tower

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
