Upset with the results of my neck lift - will a revision fix it? (Photo)

Thank you for your question and sharing your photograph. It is too early after your surgery to have a clear understanding of your results, and as the swelling decreases, the neck typically appears to have more definition. It would be worth asking your surgeon whether they carried out a deep plane neck lift or not.
By deep plane, in the case of the neck lift intervention, one typically refers to reduction of the fatty tissue situated under the platysma muscles, reduction of the digastric muscles, and of the lower part of the submandibular glands.
With these procedures, generally, there is a significant change in the contour under the chin and the girth of the neck in its upper segment. If the procedure involved predominantly skin tightening and liposuction, it may require, for the long term, a repeat procedure that reduces volume also in the deeper layer.

Hello, hope you are well. What should you do? For now, follow your surgeon's aftercare instructions throughout the recovery process. It's possible that even when the swelling resolves you won't have a satisfactory result, but it's too early to make that judgement and too soon to seek a revision anyway. If weeks and months go by and your neck contour remains unchanged, discuss your concerns with your primary surgeon. I hope things improve for you!

Best,
Dr. Tower

Considering that your result is far from satisfactory you can consider having revision as soon as 6 months after first surgery. Chin augmentation with implant should be considered as well. In person second opinion surgery with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in face lifts is recommended. Good luck.

Thank you for posting your question heremy answer will be based on the limited information and pictures provided , for medical advice please consult with your plastic surgeon
I am sorry that you are not pleased with the outcome from your surgery so far. You are two weeks from surgery though and this is around the time where you have the most swelling . Swelling can take weeks if not months to completely resolve. I would encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon to get reassurance and in the future if you are still not pleased with your result potentially a revision.
I hope this helps, best of luck!

You are still early in your recovery. I encourage you to speak with your surgeon about your concerns and closely follow post op instructions. It would be several months before you could consider a revision if it is indicated.

Hello,
We wish you an optimal recovery and patience while your results settle.
A neck lift or revision neck lift is a precise surgical procedure aimed at restoring youthful neck contours while preserving natural movement and comfort. It involves several main components
1. Motion Evaluation: Ensuring full neck movement (flexion and extension) is preserved post-surgery to prevent stiffness or discomfort.
2.Over-Correction: Accounting for natural skin relaxation during healing to maintain long-lasting results.
3.Platysma Muscle Tightening: Strengthening this muscle to improve contour and reduce neck bands.
4.Fat Management: Removing or redistributing excess fat for a balanced, natural appearance.
5.Skin Laxity: Allowing minimal laxity to ensure comfort, functionality, and a natural look.
A successful neck lift or neck lift-revision addresses all layers of the neck—skin, fat, and muscle—creating a refined, functional, and long-lasting result.
When performed by an expert, it achieves a harmonious blend of aesthetics and practicality, enhancing the neck’s appearance while preserving its natural movement and comfort. In any case, full results will take time to heal and unfold.
