Face widened, lower lids pulling down, brows raised in middle & look awful with same laxity. 43 w laxity due to Kybella being poorly administered to jowl area (now know was a no-no) and under chin. Because Kybella is such a crap product I went to seek a plastic surgeon to help. I was thinking some fat grating but he suggested deep plane neck and face lift due to laxity. Ended up doing endoscopic mid face because less scars. Added brow to lift tail but he lifted entire brow and put fat in forehead. I still have laxity and look so odd. can it be fixed? And yes I should have left face alone

Accutane is a serious medication and I would avoid it unless truly indicated. There are other routes that can be pursued which a good Dermatologist can direct you through. If you do take Accutane, I would wait at least 6 months prior to surgery.
