Performed by a face specialist. The doctor told me that he sewed my platysma muscles together, as well as cut out a large fat pad. I still have a large double chin, and am worried that this will not go away. I know it is early days yet, but I have seen no improvement since day one. Also, if it will not go away on its own, are there any corrective procedures to help recitfy it? Thank you so much for any insight you can offer! Greatly appreciated!

Answer: Swelling You had a comprehensive neck lift based on the fact that your platysma was sutured together. It is possible some residual preplatysmal fat was left behind and sometimes additional liposuction can correct this. The other issue is if your submaxillary glands are exposed and bulging. These would require a neck lift revision to correct.

Answer: Neck fullness At 7 weeks you are still very swollen. Give yourself ample time to heal and be patient. Remember, that skin quality plays a large role in facelift results and this can happen even when everything is done "right"

Answer: Continued Swelling 6 Weeks After a Face and Neck lift Thank you very much for your question and photograph. At close to seven weeks’ post-op, you can still expect residual swelling. This should slowly resolve over the following couple of months. However, without a pre-op picture, it is hard to provide any more meaningful advice regarding your specific results. I recommend being patient with your healing process, giving yourself six months out from the facelift and neck lift before judging the final results. In the meantime, though, I would bring your concerns to your operating surgeon for his/her advice.
