I had a facelift from a Kansas City surgeon (Philip Gutek) 5 years ago, who left the sides of my face lower than before, so it was pulling downward hard. In a revision he did a year later, he pulled vertically upward some (but not enough), and pulled the neck too hard horizontally. I have tried stretching with heat, but there is not much neck muscle left. Could a professional massage therapist work deeper to loosen my neck more?
Answer: Hope this helps! 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. If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out to me at chopraplasticsurgery.com.

Answer: Facelift that puuls mouth downward? 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
