Neck Still Turkey-like After Lower Facelift and Necklift with Platysmaplasty? (photo)

July 14, 2012
Asked By:phoebe0101 in Florida, NY

I had a mini facelift and necklift with platysmaplasty 4 months ago with incisions in front and behind ears and under the chin. Pictures attached. The face is much better than it was, but the neck has dropped back to where it was, a very large band is even more prominent, and the scars are bad on one ear only. I've already tried Botox, and it did nothing. Any idea what went wrong? Also, is there a procedure to cut out that errant band all together, or tie it up somehow? I'm 57.

Answer: Sometimes a total re-do face/neck lift is what is needed to correct the problem.
