Underwhelmed with facelift results. Are my expectations unrealistic? (Photo)

Question

Female 63 years old 130 lbs White Deep plane facelift 9 months ago. I’m pretty happy with my upper face, but disappointed that I still have jowls. Is my expectation unrealistic? I’m reposting my question with 2 additional profile view photos. Thank you

I would recommend a revision facelift/necklift with possible facial erbium resurfacing to achieve a more aggressive outcome/look if that is what you are seeking.

Dear generous,

I appreciate you sharing your photos to help better. Illustrate your concerns. In my opinion, your expectations for cleaner, jaw and neckline are NOT unrealistic. I can't comment on what surgical procedure was actually done and how aggressive your surgeon should've been or how  your anatomy may or may not have limited your desired result. It's reasonable for you to have a secondary facelift to improve your lower face in that contour. I recommend waiting a full year until you start that journey if you desire improvement.

Best wishes!

Hello, hope you are well. Thanks for posting your photos and question. Based on the photos that you have provided, I don't think that your expectations are unrealistic. It would be worthwhile to at least explore the option of revision surgery. I would be happy to discuss with you.

Best,
Dr. Tower

Based on your reposted photos, you need a revision of the neck lift and submental lip ectomy with Endo treatment. Feed $10,000-$20,000. Best of virtual consult with
