Submandibular Glands - What Can I Do?

evy
I had a suture suspension and liposuction done in November, 2010. but after 3 months I now have "hanging" submandibular glands that are pretty prominent. I have gone back to my surgeon and he has scheduled me for neck lift later this month which will include cutting off skin (from behind the ears), platysmal plication, and "basket" suture suspension of the glands. Based on the pictures attached, would these procedures help? Is the suture suspension of the glands dangerous?
