Cobra neck 14 months deep plane face & neck lift? (Photos)

Sunflower22wAug 4, 2024
I am 14 months post op deep plane face/neck lift. I have had glands shaved, Platysmal bands done and fat transfer. Do I have a cobra neck? Why would I have this result? What is needed for correction? I had no healing problems. I am so upset by my results which my surgeon is aware of but says I have had improvement. My face was not terrible before surgery. Thank you for any replies and advice given.

An isolated neck lift can correct laxity in the neck, improve the angle between the jaw and the neck (cervicomental angle) and improve jawline definition. This typically involves either incision under the chin, an incision behind the ear into the hairline or both. A neck lift does not address...

The best way to tighten loose neck skin is with a neck lift. This can be done with short incisions behind the ear.

You have a nice hyoid location and no significant fat to remove. You can see when you press up the skin touches the hyoid and you have a nice cervicomental angle. It doesn't need to be a deep plane necessarily but the platysma muscle will need to be tightened.
