Asked By:maureen1234 in Michigan, MI

Is there a surgical touch up procedure that can be done after a neck lift to get rid of loose under chin skin? I am 6 weeks post op from a lower face and neck lift. I am very happy with the face lift but as the swelling is going down in my neck I have a lot of loose skin under my chin. Every day it seems to get worse. I have incisions behind and in front of my ears but not under my chin. I spoke with my surgeon and he thinks it looks fine
