I had a face and neck lift 16 months ago and my neck looks like the photos. My left side my face is still numb. Incision under neck is also numb. Is the appearance of my neck normal? I really thought it would have been much tighter. Do i need another surgery?

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry...

We needs photos and a more detailed history to make any determination Please repost with photos. You’ve been very patient about wanting to wait 6 months after surgery. You’ve waited 3 months and that’s reasonable to post a question.

"For a double chin, InMode FaceTite with VASERlipo would give you the best result. With significant neck sagging you would need a facelift / neck lift with muscle tightening (platysmaplasty). At the same time, I would recommend lasers (Fraxel, CO2, Halo, or Erbium) and microneedling RF...
