15 months postop - Is this Lateral Sweep from Lower Face and Neck Lift? (photos)

Iforsecond opinions on why I have these horrible lines on my cheeks/jawline and several folds on my skin when I look down. I had a lower face and neck lift in January 2021, 15 months ago. My surgeon is saying I’d have to pay for a revision out of pocket. He already had to do a revision on my neck this past August 2021. Im really scared to have him do anything on me again, but, want clarification on what this is. He won’t come out and say it’s Lateral Sweep.
