Answer: Turkey Neck Returning Thank you for your question and pictures. It is typical for the skin to relax slightly after all swelling has diminished. Your skin before had lost quite a bit of elasticity therefore even when tightened after surgery your skin will be prone to relaxing quicker, e. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon to see if an adjust can be made to make the neck tighter. A chemical peel could be discussed as well to smooth the texture of your skin. All The Best

Answer: No surgery is perfect. This is actually a big improvement in your appearance. I would encourage you to heal a full year before considering a revisional facelift. I also think you would benefit from a full face chemical peel.

Answer: Return of turkey neck after facelift It is not uncommon to see relaxation of the skin after a facelift. From the photos, it looks like you are thin, and your skin is thin and crepy. Nothing wrong with that, it's just more prone to the return of laxity, even after skin tightening procedures like face or neck lifts. You have creases throughout the skin surface which contribute to the overall appearance. Revisit your plastic surgeon and discuss touching up the skin tightening. But also discuss ways he or she can resurface your skin. I believe that will go a long way to improving your outcome. I wish you the best!

Answer: Neck laxity after facelift You seem to have a very reasonable result after your facial surgery with a nice improvement in your facial structure. Unfortunately, the return of some laxity in the neck is not uncommon, even after an extensive procedure like yours. You appear to have thin, crepey skin that is more prone to this type of recurrence. You should revisit this issue with your Plastic Surgeon -- in some cases a bit of secondary tightening of the neck may help, and the fine lines and wrinkles may benefit from some type of resurfacing.
