Asked By:KayJay10019 in New York, New York

Hello! I’m a 56 yr old woman who had a lower facelift 8 years ago. I’ve never really liked the scar under my chin from it, I’ve gained 20 lbs during covid and I guess with regular aging the scar and now my neck just look really bad. I have indentations on each side of my chin/jawline, the scar is so obvious and it looks like maybe it’s pulling somehow? What can I do? Do I need a whole new neck lift? Scar revision surgery? Laser treatment for scar? Pls help!
