10 months post op, unhappy with deep plane facelift results - will I need another lift to add definition? (photos)

Question

I am 10 months post op deep plane face/neck llift. I had my platysma bands done. Digastric muscle plication and fat grafting. I have no defined jaw line/contoured face and my marionette lines/nasolabial folds have hardly been addressed. I did not expect these results from a deep plane procedure.Why do I have these results? What went wrong? My surgeon is aware I’m not happy. Please can I have advice, opinions and comments. Do I need another lift? Thank you
