I have had many laser treatments along with other procedures like Kybella and Morpheus 8 to reduce volume under my chin and to tighten the lax skin. After menopause, the elastin in my skin has gone downhill. I finally elected to have a lower facelift and neck lift with chin lipo to resolve the dangly loose skin under my chin. One year later the skin looks puckered or pleated. It's worse in the morning and only looks less prominent if I moisturize. Why does it look like this and what can I do?
Answer: Deep plane facelift and vertical vector facelift Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs. The area of laxity just under the chin is usually addressed better by a more vertical vector and is sometimes helped more by the facelift than by neck lift interventions. For a facelift procedure to have a more significant impact on the submental region, the facelift scars need to extend also to the edge of the hairline in the temporal region.

Answer: Possible causes of skin regularity. From your history, there are a number of possible causes of this skin irregularity. The scarring, resulting from your Kybella and the loss of subdermal fat from your Morpheus 8 and your chin Lipo and the facelift have all created some scarring underneath the skin underneath your chin. These may be scar bands that you’re witnessing, unresolved loose skin or platysma bands, which have been uncovered from the chin liposuction. It is very difficult to know without a physical examination. I would return to your plastic surgeon and address these issues. Best wishes.

Answer: Wrinkles after neck lift Loss of elasticity and subcutaneous tissue support are some of the elements that contribute to this condition. In some cases injection of micro and nano fat grafts may improve this appearance. Good luck.

Answer: Why do I have these vertical pleates, folds and bands under my chin? You have excess and elastic skin in your neck, which is going to require a revision lower face and neck lift procedure to be able to tighten the skin from the incisions all the way from behind your ears. It's only possible to tighten the skin so much behind your ears, otherwise you'll have poor healing in that location.
