Issues after deep plane short scar facelift, neck lift and lipo, female, 36 y/o at time of op, not overweight

Hello, hope you are well. The most visible issue in your photos is the submental area (under your chin), which you have recognized as a 'cobra neck' deformity. This occurs as a result of overly aggressive resection of fat from the submental triangle, which exposes the surrounding digastric muscle bellies. There is not a perfect solution for this, but it will not go away on its own. One option is to revise that area with partial reduction of the neighboring digsastric muscle and fat grafting to fill in the central defect. The goal is to create a smoother contour.
Best,Dr. Tower

The reason you don’t see much change is that you were too young to have a facelift at 36. The deformity of your earlobe is common and can be fixed with a minor revision
