Hello! I’m 35 years old and thin/fit. I had an extended deep plane neck lift and platysmaplasty (NO lipo) last year to address genetic sagging. My incisions start at the top of my tragus and continue around the ear to the top of the back of my ear. They do NOT extend along the hairline behind my ear. I also have an incision under my chin. My original goal was to remove loose skin under my chin and improve the shape of my neck- which was sloped/ obtuse / c-shaped - to a more of a 90 degree right angle. I am now more than 6 months post-op and extra skin is still present and the shape didn’t improve. He said my hyoid bone had an “average” position - not low, not high. I was offered a revision to remove more skin using the incision in back of ear only. I’m looking for advice on what at has to happen during the revision to get a more defined, 90 degree angle neck? I trust my doctor but want to be well-informed.
