Mid face/neck lift & upper bleph 8 months ago, is this a failed facelift? (Photos)

Asked By:Fierce175825 in Columbia, South Carolina

I had a mid face/neck lift+ upper bleph 8 months ago. The scars on my lids and chin healed great. The scars on my ears are still bright red and raised. I seeked out the surgery because of jowls and sagging in the jawline. I communicated this clearly to my surgeon. I'm disappointed because I don't see great results. I feel like all I got from the lift was horrible scars. Why would this happen and what should I do moving forward?
