Can neck be stretched after a too-tight facelift? It is pulling my mouth downward.

I personally think tension on the skin for the purposes of generating the lift during a facelift is a mistake. Post a photograph for a more specific opinion.

I understand your concern. It is difficult to say without physical exam or photos. The skin is elastic and should continue to stretch, massage should help. It sounds like your surgeon is trying to do the right thing, stick with him.

Human skin is very elastic and will stretch. It's difficult to say much without seeing your pictures or knowing more about what exactly you had done, but in general yes, skin can stretch and unfortunately for most people it does (and that's why they may need a touch up or repeat facelift after several years)

Human skin possesses remarkable elasticity and is capable of stretching. While it's challenging to provide precise advice without reviewing your specific case or images, I can offer a general perspective.

In many instances, skin can indeed stretch, potentially leading to issues such as pulling and downward movement of the mouth. This is a concern that some individuals may experience after undergoing facelift procedures.

If you're facing such challenges, it's advisable to consider a consultation with a skilled plastic surgeon. An evaluation of your situation will provide a clearer understanding of the extent of stretching and the appropriate options for addressing it. Touch-up procedures or repeat facelifts are not uncommon after several years to ensure optimal results.

Without pictures is very difficult to visualize what you mean by that your mouth is being pulled downward. My recommendation would be to consult with a board certified facial/plastic surgeon in order to properly evaluate your problem and give you recommendations.Hope this helps,Dr. Gus Diaz
