Im 5 mos post facelift, and very distressed about the visible glands under my chin/jaw. My neck is slender, making the glands even more conspicuous. People regularly ask about my health, pointing out my "swollen" glands. I was not advised about this issue untill I pointed at them and asked (POST SURGERY)! Is there a specialist ANYWHERE who can remedy this? Please! I look deformed. Can a facelift be reversed? I will travel to any country if necessary. Thank you!

Answer: Enlarged/ptotic submandibular glands can be addressed The submandibular salivary glands commonly enlarge and descend with age. When the more-noticeable aging changes of loose/excess fat, muscle, and skin are addressed in a neck lift, these glands are sometimes unmasked. Critical nerves exist immediately "over" and "under" these glands, so they are often not addressed with face/neck lifting surgery.A few expert neck lift surgeons are comfortable safely treating these glands. Seek one out.In my experience, when I return to a neck to remove such glands, patient satisfaction is high.
