Face Lift Revision Needed - how can I fix this?

I had a face and neck lift with fat grafting as well as blephoplasty and sub mandibular gland removal performed in NYC just over a year ago. The initial results were beautiful but after 2 1/2 months my face devolved into an under done looking face and neck lift. Also, I am now left with a jaw line deformity and hollowing/divots as a result of the gland removal as well as platisma bands that visually “pop” when I speak and an upper lip that moves excessively. I’m at a loss as to how to fix this?

I would perform a skin only blepharoplasty with erbium ablative laser. There is redundant skin that is very thin.
