I had a lower facelift about 6 months and it seems like it wasn’t done correctly. There is sagging and discoloration (Photo)

Question

Is this normal? If not, What if anything can be done to fix it?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I recommend following up with your surgeon about your concerns. A combination approach is needed to get the most improvement for sagging on the face. I recommend J Plasma, lasers (Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant, Co2), microneedling/prp, ultherapy and rf treatments to get the best outcomes. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi Pa19520,Thank you for sharing your question and photos with us, It is impossible to give an accurate assessment of your result without having preoperative photos for comparison. Physical examination in person is the best way to assess these concerns and determine the best treatment plan, if any.  Book your follow up with your surgeon, who will be able to examine the area, and advise you further.I hope this information is usefulI wish you all the best

It seems that these photos were taken in different time during recovery.  The last photo has substantial submental swelling, whereas the first two photos look much better.  You need to talk to your plastic surgeon for advise.   Microneedling and RF treatment combined with laser resurfacing can help your condition.

Brian K. Machida, MD, FACS · Answer

It almost looks like these photos were not taken the same time during your recovery.  Without pre op photos, its difficult to see the type of improvement which was achieved, especially if you're commenting that persistent sagging is present.  In this case, its best to go over your pre and post op photos with your doctor and discuss any further course of action.
