The skin is loose and crepey but there isn't extra fat or heavy jowls or a turkey neck. I really don't want the FULL procedure again because it was painful and the scars in hairline caused loss of hair for me. (And I had fine hair to begin with). I wear my hair short, so a vertical scar at back of neck is not an option.
Answer: Options Thank you for your question. It would be best to speak to a board certified plastic surgeon to properly examine you. As you age, even after a facelift, there is going to be eventual relaxation of the skin and tissue. It does not completely stop the aging process. an option may be to do a skin only excision which would be less intense than a full facelift. All the best,

Answer: Modified Neck Lift Could Help The neck is the first area to relax after a facelift, for two reasons: 1) The skin and underlying SMAS muscle layer is thinner there and more stretchy, and 2) with normal head turning, there is considerable tension, which results in more stretching. I think it is quite likely that a modified neck lift procedure, which is less involved than a full lower facelift, could give you the results you are looking for, with less recovery. The technique is important: If the deeper tissues are released and elevated, then there will be minimal tension on the skin, and the scars should be fine without risk of hair loss. I suspect that, in your first procedure, the skin was placed under a lot of tension, which can result in hair loss, heavier scarring, and pain.
