Loose neck skin after mini lift. Can this be fixed?

Asked By:k227

Mini lift under local anesthesia in Feb 2018. I noticed after there was loose skin under chin and a little jowling. I wasn’t concerned as I was told results would refine over the next 12 months.12m follow up today & expressed my concern. Doc had me step on scale & then blamed a 5 pound weight loss & advised that I “gain the weight back.” Then said that results can be affected by the side on which I sleep & too little skin to revise. Can this be fixed?
