Ptotic saliva glands and loss of elasticity in neck. Options? (Photo)

Thank you for the question and the photos. I agree that you are too young for invasive procedures like facelift or neck lift. However, you do have enlarged and ptotic submandibular glands. Reduction of the volume of the glands can be performed surgically, but only through incisions like those for face and neck lift. In some cases, these glands can be injected with Botox in order to reduce their volume. Caution must be taken to avoid causing droopy lip, given the location of the nerve that moves the corner of the mouth.

Thank you for your question, demar4244. I suggest you consult with your board certified facial plastic surgeon who performed your surgery as your surgery looks great and your surgeon will know exactly their procedural method to dictate the treatments in lost elasticity. Best wishes,

There are some facelift surgeons who will lift and others who will remove part of the surgeon.  You have to find someone who believes in these treatments and is comfortable doing so.  I personally believe the risks are more than I find acceptable, so I do not perform these treatments at this time.
