Results after deep plane facelift and deep neck lift.... i was told i had a (L) submandibular gland and that results would look good with or without removing gland. Btw i had no protrusion of a gland while lying flat on my back prior. I'm having a hard time believing that this is all submandibular gland related... any thought or suggestions please!? Thank you!!

Answer: Neck Deformity This is a cobra neck deformity. The fat in between the platysmal muscle bands was over resected. The platysmal bands were not adequately treated. The neck skin was not properly re-draped over the area. The fat was not properly contoured in the lateral aspect of the neck. There does also appear to be a slightly bulging submandibular gland as well. This is a common undesired outcome after poor necklift surgery work. I would recommend seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon (American Board of Plastic Surgery) to address your issues.

Answer: Neck irregularities after facelift This does not look like it's related to the gland as you mentioned. There is excess skin under your chin on the left more that the right along with persistent bands from the inner border of your platysma muscles. You likely need steroid injections and massage and if it's not better in a few months then you may need a revision to that area. Good luck!

Answer: Neck issue after a Deep plane facelift It appears to be related to a deep structure irregularity or scarring from fat removal close to the skin. Have you had steroid treatments in the area? Since the gland was not removed I doubt it is related to a glandular issue.
