Should I still have these folds under my neck after neck lift? (Photo)

Question

Hi I had a neck/mid face lift in March 2023. I am on the younger side (40) but the laxity in my neck has been bothering me for years. I found an amazing surgeon but I still have the folds that bothered me from the beginning. I’m not sure if this is just normal or if the surgeon was just too conservative.

Hello,
I evaluates your photos but was unable to find your resting profile neck which makes it hard to evaluate. 
Neck flexion even gives my 6- year old son similar so the best evaluation would be to have resting profile photos of your neck before and after. 
Taking disadvantaged photos and feeling bad about them is not a good perspective. Another perspective is that you are already very young and you already started at a good point ( you were already looking fresh and young to start with) and now the change does not meet your expectations which can be seen more frequently in younger patients
I evaluated your front photos and thought they looked good and advise against an early revision because thats a bullet you can benefit more in the future (45+ 50+?) because we only have 1 face and the macro lifetime strategy is very very important having too many surgeries in a life span ( no matter how good they are executed) usually dont end good
Hope these answers helpGood luck, Doctor Be+
