It didn't work....doctor said it is the elasticty. I think he didn't take enough skin. Are there any other possibilities to why it didn't work and what can I do about it? Should the doctor attempt to fix it?

Answer: My neck lift didn't work It is possible that you can get recurrent sagging after a neck lift procedure if you have a lack of elasticity in your skin. This most commonly occurs in patients who have a lot of sun damage or who were previous smokers or in older patients. Pictures would be helpful. You may want to seek a second opinion and see if there is agreement.

Answer: Elasticity resulting in a poor result? As mentioned by the others, pre and post-op photos are really needed to help us appreciate what you consider a failed result. No change implies to me that absolutely no benefit was achieved. Techniques do matter as well. As for revising it, what is your surgeon recommending and what is your surgeon going to charge for this? It probably isn't a good idea to try the same procedure you just had and new full fees would make me search for another surgeon who is more willing to 'warranty' the work done.
