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?

When patients have significant plasma bands, we perform a routine myotomy on those bands when we're doing a neck lift, or a lower face and neck lift procedure. For best results, it's also advantageous to place Botox in those active muscle bands about a week prior to the myotomy.
