Repair of a cobra neck deformity. What would be the best option?

February 19, 2015
Asked By:mommyinthecity in Mountain View, CA

I had a neck loft on July 9, 2013 and have a cobra neck deformity as a result. The dr who performed the original surgery seems to think redoing the platysmal bands would be the best option but after a second consult I was told a revision lower face and neck lift should be done but I don't need the facelift part yet. I'm the meantime I need something as I just hate it. I'm now confused and feel like the facial plastic surgeon who originally performed it has no idea what he's talking about.
