I am four months post neck lift. When I saw my surgeon for follow-up I expressed concerns over the uneven contour of neck especially on the one side where the skin hangs down more. He put Botox in that area and said if it was still there in a year he might try a thread. I'm concerned as I choose a surgical intervention for a permanent result. Is this something that will get better with time? What is causing the skin to sag on only one side? What's the best resolution?
