Hello, I’m not 100% happy with results and would like to get professional opinions before I talk it over with my PS, who I like and believe will hopefully address it. I had/have realistic expectations, but I feel as if there is excess skin/fat under my chin area with banding and loose skin at my neck? I am 53 and was hoping for a more contoured jawline and tighter neck. Any advice on your opinions would sincerely be appreciated! Thank you!

Answer: Results after a facelift It does appear that you have some persistent platysmal banding and submittal fullness. That being said I would discuss your concerns with your surgeon and ask him/her what they perceive about your results as they have your preoperative photographs. You may require a revision at some point but I would wait until your are completely healed between six months and a year before you consider any additional surgery.

Answer: Facelift and necklift It is difficult to provide an answer to your question without seeing a complete set of pre-surgical photos and reading a dictation of the surgery but it appears that you have much excess neck skin and platysmal banding. It is unlikely to improve with further time. As far as your neck, I would recommend a platysmaplasty and a revision of your neck lift. Some skin relaxation is expected but this is not going to get better without further surgery. In most cases, the recovery from revision surgery is easier than the primary surgery.
