Can you please give me your thoughts on how to rectify my facelift problems? (Photos)

Question

My surgeon suggested the Ellevate procedure to rectify facelift problems but it doesn’t appear to have made any difference! Help I had a facelift in January 2019 and after a year my jowls and neckline still appeared to be sagging and I had banding from my chin to neck. My surgeon suggested Ellevate which I did in January this year but as far as I can see there is no difference on the before and after photos. Can you please give me your thoughts as I don’t feel that I have had value for money as apart from now having one band instead of two, there is very little difference. I feel this isn’t the end result I was promised.

I would recommend a facelift and necklift. The problem with the Ellevate is that it does not work and certainly does not last. It is a minimally invasive procedure recommended by individuals who do not want to operate anymore or simply do not know how to do a proper face/necklift.

Hello, thank you for your question. Based on your photos you may benefit from a Revision Lift, a physical examination is needed, I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Dear tgageThank you for your questions and photos!  I am sorry that you are not happy with your results. You will need a secondary lift with fat grafting.With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD

Based on these photos it doesn't seem that you have much of the improvement. Considering your current anatomy only SMAS based face and neck lift/contouring could create visible and long lasting result. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in face/neck lift is recommended. Good luck.

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

I have never heard of Ellevate. Also with out seeing before pictures it’s possible to know how much improvement you get. It appears to me that you need liposuction of your jowls which may not have been done initially. I would need an in person exam to see what more needs to be done to give you a good result.
