I had a mini facelift 7 months ago to correct prejowl and lax skin. I'm was fit and 40 with no jowl and no sagging neck. The mini facelift ended up not touching my prejowl sulcus and I had no physical appearance change which was very disappointing. My lax skin was fixed, but I'm not sure I would have done the procedure just for that at this point in my life. It was a big surgery and expensive. Now I still have problem that continues to worsen. How do you fix prejowl sulcus/mandibular ligament?

Answer: What's the best treatment for prejowl sulcus after a facelift didn't work? Thank you for your pictures and questions. It seems like in your previous reviews of your procedure, you were very happy with the results, but now, not so much? "Guys, he is no joke the best plastic surgeon in Georgia if not the world!!"It would be helpful to know more details about your surgery. The problem with many facial cosmetic procedures that are billed as "mini" or "minimally invasive" or "lunchhour lift" or "weekend lift" or whatever other term is en vogue, is that these procedures are shortcuts on surgery. They are lesser procedures with lesser downtime and less sculpting below the skin, and guess what that gets you? Less results or at least results that do not last as long. If I were you, I would consider going to a plastic surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and discussing your concerns and the possible options available to you.Hope this helps!Dallas R.

Answer: Chin implant for pre-jowl sulcus The best treatment for a pre-jowl sulcus is a pre-jowl implant that augments that area. This implant can be placed under local anesthesia
