Asked By:Kelise in Florida, FL

I have "pouches" on either side, under chin 6 monthes post neck lift w/platysma. My PS says the pouches are glands or muscle, but there is also a little loose skin and will do a revision under local anestesia in 3 weeks. I did not have any fat on my neck before surgery only a double chin, with NO POUCHES!My neck still feels so tight & I have a "keliod" scar under earlobe from necrosis that he says he will remove during revision. he also says there is not much skin to tighten. Will revision help?
