I had a neck lift and deep plane facelift, and 7 months later I needed revision. Surgeon suggested lipo in my chin to better neck lift results and now I have indentation and a V, any idea what is causing this V and how can this be fixed to look smooth under my neck?
Answer: Revision of a Neck and Deep Plane Lift Thank you for your question regarding why you have an indentation and a V after a neck lift and a deep plane lift. I think the neck has been overstocked, or too much fat has been removed. In my opinion, I would suggest a revision neck lift. This can be done by placing the incision around the ear and lifting the neck. If you are not inclined to undergo surgery, the other modalities will be minimal. Minimal intervention modalities will include the application of Morpheus8 and botox for the platysmal bands creating the V-shaped area on your neck. The V-shaped area on your neck is due to the platysmal muscle hanging and the fat between the muscle being removed. That led to the indentation. Another method to minimize the platysmal bands would be an injection of Botox. This can help to relax the muscles in the area. However, for definitive treatment, I would suggest a repeat neck lift. Thank you for your question regarding why you have an indentation and a V after a neck lift and a deep plane lift.

Answer: Neck "V" after neck lift The appearance of your neck is most likely due to failure of the platysma muscle repair (platysmaplasty) and overaggressive liposuction. An in person examination and review of your operative reports will help determine the cause and the strategies necessary to improve your results.

Answer: Need to come in to consult For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Neck lift It's possible that the V-shape and indentation under your neck are a result of uneven fat removal during the chin liposuction. It could also be due to a lack of support in the tissues and muscles under the chin, which can sometimes occur after facelift procedures.
