Loose Skin Under Chin After Lower Lift (Photos)

would rectify your loose skin and muscle. This could be performed in the office under local anaesthetic if you desired.

Patients after a facelift want to see a crisp neck and a beautiful jawline. In my 20 years of doing facelifts, I can share with you my experiences with short scar facelifts. Most likely, in your initial assessment, it didn’t appear that you have a lot of skin. Your surgeon may have concluded that a limited lift with liposculpture would improve your jawline. But only a few people are happy with limited results. The short scar facelift left you with loose skin. This means that doing a bit more extended procedure is needed in order to get the lifting accomplished.

Sometimes, the things that require enhancement are elasticity and regression. Even after a facelift where everything looks the way you want it to be, there can still be some regression months later especially in people who have very elastic skin. I recommend doing a vertical lift as a secondary procedure to pull the skin back.

As far as steroid injections, you would not have much of an improvement when you use it to deal with loose skin unless there’s tough scar tissue. My suggestion is that you coordinate with your original surgeon to have  enhancement surgery so that you can get the results that you desire.

After 16 months your concerns will not disappear on their own. I believe you need to have your procedure revised and would approach it locally below the chin (submental approach). I do not believe that at this late date that non-surgical procedures will be of much benefit. If you have lost faith in your plastic surgeon see another who is board certified in aesthetic plastic surgery.
