Can the deep indentation on my neck located under my chin be corrected?

If your surgery was recent, it could still be too early into your healing to determine if a #correction is necessary. Typically, it's best to wait 6 to 12 months depending on the reason for #revision. Generally, it will take approximately 7-10 days for the early healing in which many patients feel comfortable being in public at this stage. Most #bruising is low on the neck and may easily be covered by clothing. Also, wearing a #compression garment may be suggested the first week and then nightly for up to six weeks.
The #incision scars from a necklift can typically be hidden well and are not located within eye level to be immediately noticed. These #scars “mature” within six to twelve months from the surgery date. The term mature implies they will soften and fade away. During this time, the rejuvenating effects of the necklift will become most obvious and the neck feels the most normal (ex. little discomfort, soft, normal sensation, no more post-op firmness). Following this stage, the true restorative effects of your necklift result will be apparent. If during your healing, you have any concerns, it is suggested to call your board-certified surgeon or their medical staff and discuss those #concerns.

Our office specializes in neck lift procedures and a platysmal plication works well to improve the neck line. A photograph or examination would be helpful.Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

I suggest posting photos for us to determine the best options.  You may need a surgical approach or a revision liposuction/fat grafting procedure.  It is best to got to a body contouring expert for this type of evaluation and treatment. Best, Dr. Emer.

What you are describing is called a cobra deformity. It's most likely that The platysma bands are still present and that the excess needs to be removed and then the two bands sutured together etc. Make sure you see a very experienced revision facelift surgeon for this. 

Thank you for asking. This is a situation that requires in-person exam to determine your needs. Skin, muscle (platysma), soft tissue and also possible salivary glands should be considered to generate the specific right treatment for you. Fat transfer is sometimes needed but should match your anatomy. Hope this helps.

What you describe is not uncommon and has been addressed successfully on many occasions to both patients who have had previous surgery and even for those who have not had previous surgery in that area.  Generally there are a combination of factors producing this including separated platysmal bands, loss of fat, scar, prominent or ptotic salivary glands, or abnormal aging related laxity.  The solution is a modified platysmaplasty which can include tightening of the platysma, fat grafting, and tightening of the salivary glands.  

A deep indentation in the front part of the neck can be caused from a facelift  where the platysma muscles have separated from their midline suture platysma plasty. To repair this would require a neck lift with an additional platysma plasty.

Pictures of this indentation are needed for a more qualified answer. But it sounds like this is due to platysmal muscle separation, In a neck with little fat, the submental skin will then be 'pulled' into the muscle gap. This central neck defect needs platysmal muscle plication as part of some form of a submentoplasty/necklift.

Based on your description alone(no photos) that area/issue is generally associated with either fat contouring issues or lack of platysmal muscle coverage.How far post op are you? Are things getting worse, better or stable.This issue(sight unseen) can, in general, be corrected with the right procedure in the right hands.Hope this helps

Thank you for your question and what you are describing sounds like the space between hanging platysmaplasty muscles that could be corrected with a neck lift.  Obviously an in person examination is neededDr Corbin
