Can my neck lift results be corrected with a revision? (photos)

Question

Dear Doctors, Can this botched neck lift be fixed/improved? I’m left feeling embarrassed, self conscious, disfigured and ashamed of my neck. Any advice on how to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated. I am unsure what if anything can be done to improve my current situation. Thank you

Despite being at a disadvantage by not knowing the exact technique your surgeon used, it seems to me that a localized revision via the old incisional scar under your chin would allow a surgeon to examine the cause of the bulge under your chin.  This is probably scar tissue that presumably could be removed and the muscles restitched if necessary.  Your scar could also be improved.  By the way, the rounded fullness under your jaw along the side is probably the outline of a salivary gland, which can only be reduced by removing part of the gland, which carries certain risks and is only performed by surgeons skilled in that maneuver.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
