Would a revision correct sagging and indents or should I consider other options? 18 months post op (photos)

Question

I had a lower face lift 18 months ago. Around my incision is still quite saggy and I have strange sort of indents have are very noticeable. I’m extremely self conscious about it. Do I need a revision, or can this be treated with a different procedure?

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

I would suggest doing Morpheus and Renuvion together first to see if the areas on concerned can be tightened and smoothed.
