Facelift revisions/touch-ups: how do surgeons decide if they will do this, or when the patient is being unrealistic or neurotic?

heartsease
I feel that the platysma bands are showing (more than pre-surgery) & that there is still some loose skin under chin (I had corset platysmaplasty & full FL/NL 7 months ago). Many surgeons on realself seem to say that this is a relatively common result, and that a "touch-up" procedure will correct it. However, I am worried that my board-certified surgeon thinks I am being neurotic (I am rational & polite) and will refuse to do the corrective procedure. Under what circumstances would he refuse?
