Ears stitched and uneven. Neck looks horrible with excessive and painful banding from jaw to jaw and pulled too tight when try to lift neck while center of neck has loose skin. Unable to spend more than an hour in a prone position as neck becomes too painful . I am done with the PL who thinks this is a good result despite the fact that I cannot function normally
Answer: Too tight and too loose HiThanks for posting your question. One of the benefits of a true deep plane lift is that there should be minimal tension on the skin. This leads to to ideal result of a rejuvenated neck but a natural appearance. I would suspect that given your pictures the skin has been put on too much tension. in addition - you clearly have a lot of sun damage and loss of elasticity of the skin from prior to to surgery. More surgery at this point (3 months out) is not the solution 9although it may be required down the road) I would suggest a series of fractional lasers to help smooth the skin and potentially improve booth the look and feel of the neck. Then as you approach the 10-12 month mark you may elect for a revision procedure to help take the tension off the skin but truly lifting the deep plane

Answer: Face This would be ideally treated with a revisionary face/necklift. At this time, the ears can also be revised. You need to find a surgeon with ideally with at least of 6 years integrated plastic surgery training followed by an accredited aesthetic surgery fellowship. I highly recommend finding one of those if possible.

Answer: A revision is indicated I think your skin hasn't draped as well as it could have. It is likely that additional work should allow this to sit better and look more natural. I'd suggest a consultation with a facial plastic surgeon who is used to revision surgery. Fortunately, it shouldn't be as much work as the first procedure, and improvement is possible.

Answer: Facelift You have two problems that are pretty straightforward to correct. Your earlobes need to be properly shaped and probably reduced. The skin doesn’t have a good “tailoring” job. As a result your skin is all bunched up and pleated below the ear. These are both common flaws which can be correct but the facelift needs to be redone. I know deep plane facelifts are all the rage these days. I never found them to be any better than a standard facelift. But with all facelifts you’ve got to get the skin part right

Answer: Healing problems after Facelift It appears that you are still healing after your face lift procedure. In order to provide you with truly meaningful recommendations, you should wait at least 9 months after your first surgery. A revision face and neck lift should not be taken easily as you want to be sure that your outcome will match your goals. Other treatments such as CO2 laser resurfacing could be considered in order to improve your superficial skin issues.
