I’m 41 and had a facelift and smas necklift 10 months ago. I have quite bad scarring and my ears look a bit odd and also my jawline is quite slack. I have attached photos one month after facelift of my scars and also photos i’ve just taken now (10, nearly 11 months on) just to ask really if this is normal or do I need a revision.
