I've had two facelift revisions. Third time is a charm? (Photo)

RealSelfMember003032Sep 5, 2023
My facelift was October 2021. I’ve been back for two revisions. I have a third one scheduled on the 14th. I’m given sleeping pills but I’m still awake and some shots but I can feel everything and I’m pushing the doctors hands away and in excruciating pain, I don’t think he can fix the loose baggy skin under my chin but he wants to keep trying. I think I need a whole facelift not just a revision. What do you think? Thank you.

The key question to ask is whether the initial facelift effectively lifted the deeper tissues. If these were not properly addressed, it may not have achieved the desired angular jawline. Based on the appearance in these photos, a face and neck lift revision could be beneficial to address the...
