If there is a skin (only) contour issue (slightly loose & uneven under the chin, mainly around submental incision) after otherwise satisfactory result, can incisions be re-opened, skin lifted, and re-draped (with a little skin removal if necessary) to achieve a smooth contour? Would this place tension on the skin, if the underlying muscle/tissue was adequately tightened/repositioned originally? Would all original incisions need to be reopened (submental, pre & post-auricular)? Likely success?

With the MACS lift the dissection is not as extensive so revisions can be performed in the office setting. You may need placement of an additional suture to pull more tightly on the looser side.

There should be no issues taking these medications this far after your facelift surgery. In fact, we often have our patients take Benadryl after facelift with laser of they have any itching.That being said, it is always wise to ask the surgeon who performed your surgery first.
