The revision my PS has suggested would be to make a longer incision from under my chin and along to the jowl area, where a little fat may be removed, and then the skin would be lifted and the surplus skin cut away before being pulled together and sutured. This I am told by the PS will leave noticeable scarring along my neck and concerns me. I would be grateful to hear of any other options which would not leave noticeable scars? I am now 13 months since lower face and neck lift surgery!

Answer: Revision face lift I am not sure, based on these photos and very limited history, that extensive incision and skin excision is necessary in your case. It appears that neck deformity is more due to underlying scar, fat and/or muscle deformity than skin redundancy? If so, revision face lift using under-the-chin incision and right side pre and postauricular incision (to tighten the skin) would be my suggestion. However, a more detailed clinical evaluation is needed to give you accurate plan of treatment. You may consider a second opinion consultation with another plastic surgeon with good reputation in facial rejuvenation and face lifts. Good luck.

Answer: Hope this helps! From the images and the limited information available, it's not immediately clear whether extensive incision and skin excision are required in your case. The appearance of sagging skin under the right jaw seems to be linked to factors like scar, fat, or muscle issues, rather than solely skin redundancy.

Answer: Facelift and Revision This is a good question. If I had more photos here I could be more accurate. It appears from the photos that the skin was not properly draped from the neck area to the area behind your ear. When performing a fcaelift, the neck area is directly linked to the remainder of the face to get a good result on the neck. It is extremely important to get an excellent result on the neck because this part is usually missed and it shows in the overall result. In order to do this, the incisions must be planned appropriately on the face and behind the ear to get a tight result on the neck and jawline. The different areas of the face and neck are all related. In looking at your photos, it appears that the right side of the neck was not treated the same as the left side of your face. Therefore, the 2 sides do not match. It more than likely has to do with the skin and draping and tightening of this area as well as tightening the neck muscles. I do not think extending that incision under your chin is a good idea. So, I would caution about that plan. Also, I would add Fat transfer around your mouth area for a more youthful look as well. Fat transfer goes a long way in adding the youthful look to your face. Good luck with your decision.
