Hello. I am a 46 year old woman who lost abt 60 pounds and had creping and jowls that came along with weight loss. 6 months post surgery I express concern abt a platysmaplasmal band that was very evident as well as some disproportion under my neck where i could feel more fat on one side vs other. Dr swears he doesnt see it which concerns me even more. Is it me or is there a problem?

Thank you for your question. It covers a topic that I am frequently asked about in consultation. There is no established answer to this so I'll explain the guidance I generally offer. There are some aspects of the neck contouring that the facelift does not cover and viceversa, and some...
