How Do I Maintain the Tightness of my Facelift a Year Later?

Dilee
I had a SMAS facelift 2 years ago. My face went from being very tight to somewhat lax in a year. Disappointed with the 12k I spent. My ps did not tell me it would loosen this fast. After a year I had a mini tuck with skin removal. Skin was tight and cheeks were real high. It's been a year since the mini tuck and my skin has loosened up AGAIN and my cheeks sag. I am so disappointed. How do celebrities keep that tight skin (ie: Cher)? How often can I have a mini tuck to keep my skin tight?
