I had my neck lift almost 2 years ago, and I am not happy with my results. My neck still has wrinkles, but the worst part is the dip at the top of my neck. Can anything be done to correct this? I would love advice on what I should do. Thank you.
Answer: How you may benefit from a neck lift revision Thank you for your question and photos. I’m sorry that you’re unhappy with your initial neck lift results. You do appear to be a candidate for revision neck lift surgery to remove excess skin and fat from the neck and throat. The remaining skin can then be tightened to create a smoother and more well-defined contour. It’s possible that an additional procedure known as platysmaplasty may be recommended to also tighten the muscles of the neck as well as the skin to achieve the best results.

Answer: Need to come in to consult 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.

Answer: Revision Neck Lift - full open necklift thank you for posting your picture. It is understandable, that you are not happy with your result. Your outcome is not what usually can be expected from a neck lift. I think by perfoming a full neck lift one can smoothen and correct your neck while creating a nice jawline at the same time. Sometimes it makes even sense to include the lower face or to combine a necklift with a facelift since anatomically and aesthetically the face and the neck can be considered a unit. However, this would be a discussion for an in person consultation with your surgeon. Have a consult with a plastic surgeon whose focuses on the face, and I am very positive you will be able to obtain the result you aimed for in the beginning.

Answer: Neck Depression after Necklift Based on your photos, I think the most likely explanation for the depression just under your chin is removal of fat in that central area. It is also possible that the platysma muscles may not have been adequately tightened in the front of the neck and are sagging off to the sides. Without knowing the exact technique your surgeon used, I can't say more. Specific recommendations can only be made after reviewing your previous photos, operative report, and a personal consultation to check your anatomy. However, I think there is hope for improvement with a secondary revision to tighten muscles and perhaps even grafting some fat into that central depression (less likely).
