Disappointed in neck lift results, do I need to adjust my expectations? Is this as good as it gets for me? (Photos)

This is a perfect example of why neck lifts by themselves never work in most cases. You have to do a lower face/neck lift together if you want the jawline and neck to look amazing. The behind the ear and under the chin never works for anybody. Yes you do get a little improvement but never ever enough for the patient to be happy with the results. That is as good as it is going to get with what you had done. Now go get the real deal and you will look amazing.

You are before, and after photos demonstrate only very minimal improvement because you have significant residual fat deposits located above and below the platysma muscle in your neck. It does not appear that your deep fat was removed at all. A properly performed neck lift procedure can accomplish significant improvement of your jawline with three small access incisions, including one underneath the chin and two little small incisions behind your ear. Liposuction accomplishes removal of the fat deposits above the muscle, while surgical extraction of the fat deposits below the muscle is accomplished along with a platysma plasty will significantly improve your jawline. This procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes about an hour and a half. At age 37, no skin removal is necessary. It's also important that your BMI be less than 32 to have a successful result.
