I had a neck lift about 1 year ago and still have ripples under my chin connected to the scar. What can I do? (photo)

Question

There is also sagging, one side lower than the other and a clear indentation.

Yannis Alexandrides, MD, FACS · Answer

Looking at the photo you have show, I think you may require another neck lift combined with a lower facelift to improve the appearance of the ripples under your chin.

J. Phillip Garcia, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello,Based on the photos you provided it looks like you are in need of a platysmaplasty as well as excision of redundant skin. I do not recommend any nonsurgical options for this test results will probably be suboptimal. Re-consult with your surgeon and allow him to correct this problem first. Best of luck.

Raymond E. Lee, MD · Answer

Thanks for sharing.  It seems you have some persistent laxity and would require a secondary or revision surgery.  This would likely involve lifting the lower face and neck.  Talk to you surgeon or obtain a second opinion. Best of luck!

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

A combination approach would give the most improvement. Kybella, PDO Nova Threads, Ultherapy and/or ThermiRF treatments (Venus Legacy) are non-invasive options that would do well in combination for skin tightening for the neck. VASER with ThermiRF is a great alternative for contouring and tightening the chin and neck.See a cosmetic dermatologist for a long term treatment plan. Best, Dr. Emer.

Brian K. Machida, MD, FACS · Answer

It looks like the area has loosened.  You might want to see your former surgeon to see if the plasytma muscle can be tightened with a secondary lift.  Best of luck.
