Back in May 2022 I had a mini FL, neck lift , upper & lower eye surgery, with a plastic surgeon. in March 2023 I had to have a revision as my neck did not take, it still was saggy. it is now almost 5 months post op & my neck looks the same. He also tightened my skin to minimize nasal labial folds due to sagging. It was suppose to be a deep plane FL , but now i am doubting. My lower eyes look the same prior to surgery. Why did my neck lift not work? I spent a fortune for min results.
