Saggy Neck after neck lift & revision?

Ultherapy is a non-invasive procedure that lifts the neck, chin and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest. As we age, collagen breaks down, resulting in loss of skin strength and elasticity. For tissue tightening, Ultherapy is ideal for the lower face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Morpheus8 to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity.

Hello, hope you are well. Sorry to hear that you had a disappointing experience. I think it will be impossible for anyone here to account for why your results have not met your expectations. My observation is that 'mini facelifts' are the most common source of revisions in my practice, but it sounds like you are uncertain if you had this procedure or a deep plane procedure. (If you do seek further revision, my advice is to obtain copies of your operative reports to bring along on future consultations). There are many possible reasons for failures in the neck, but without photos to assess your appearance before and after surgery it's anyone's guess. Wishing you the best moving forward.

You did not post pre and post op photos, so I cannot be specific. Please go back to your surgeon and discuss your concerns.

It is difficult to say specifically why your results don't meet your expectations, but if your neck lift didn't yield the expected results, several factors could be at play. First, managing expectations is crucial, as the final outcome may take time to fully materialize, and patience is necessary. Secondly, the success of the procedure may depend on the surgeon's technique and expertise. In some instances, a revision surgery or a different approach might be considered. Lifestyle choices, including weight fluctuations and sun exposure, can also impact the longevity of results, so maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential. Lastly, individual factors like skin elasticity and genetics can influence the outcome, and not all patients will achieve identical results. To address specific concerns, it's advisable to consult your surgeon, who can assess your situation and discuss potential solutions tailored to your needs and goals.
