My neck still has significant loose skin and sagging - should I have a revision with the same surgeon? (Photos)

Asked By:JJ202 in Tustin, California

I had a lower face and neck lift in Aug. 2024, and while I’m satisfied with my jawline, my neck still has significant loose skin and sagging. It also has “ripples” when I look up. My skin is thin but I’m seeing before and after pictures of much older women with similar-looking skin/before pictures that look much better than I do. You’d almost never know I had a neck lift. Am I exaggerating or not being realistic, and if not, should I go back for a revision with the same surgeon?
