Distinct lines under my chin 9 months after neck lift - advice? (photos)

Even though it is an undesirable result, it can occur as a result of tissue relaxation. It can be accentuated by fat removal through liposuction but I do not see a submental scar. With lateral platysmal pulls, the most common site of relaxation is in the midline under the chin. The vertical lines represent muscle relaxation. Ultherapy is not the answer, nor is Botox. Correction would require skin undermining to release the skin followed by muscle tightening of the platysma. I would recommend a deep plane technique for this revision.

Unfortunately, visible platysma muscle bands are most frequent problem seen after neck lift; fat tissue is aggressively removed from the anterior neck and, as a result, muscle activity is visible underneath thin envelope. Botox injections may be a good way to improve this condition, possibly conservative fat grafting as a part of revision? In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in face/neck lifts is recommended. Good luck.

To improve your final results, I recommend a combination approach with Thermage and/or Venus Legacy, Kybella, and Ultherapy. I recommend getting a formal consultation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Sorry for the neck lift results of vertical lines. In my opinion a redo complete open neck lift is indicated to correct these issues. Fees in the $12,000 ranges.
