After Parotidectomy - What's Best Option to Address Jowls/saggy Neck? (photo)

dljinok
I would like to have a facelift and a neck lift to address jowls and loose skin on my neck. I had a parotidectomy ten years ago. After researching this site, I understand that many surgeons do not recommend having a facelift after a parotidectomy due to the increased risk of facial nerve injury. What would be the best course of action to address my jowls and neck? Would a neck lift be advisable?
