I had an S lift mini face lift two months ago by a board certified PS. In addition, I had a lower blepharoplasty, as well as juvederm ultra in my lips. I have noticed over the last few days that sagginess is beginning to return to my jawline now that the swelling is subsiding. In addition, my neck has been kind of tight feeling ever since the surgery, so I decided to take a good look at it tonight. I am horrified by its appearance! I meet with my PS next week. Can this be fixed? Thanks.

Answer: Can be fixed
It would appear you have two issues:
1) You appear to have a hollowing in the sub-mental region. If you only had liposuction in this region then this is most likley a cobra-neck deformity. This is from removing too much fat. Yes this can be fixed. Your doctor can graft fat into this region to restore a smoother appearance. Obviously its better to see you in person but thatis what it looks like from the photos
2) There is always a bit of crep and relaxation in the first few months after surgery. Hopefully you can recognize that your profile still looks much improved. The correction I see is on par with most mini lifts
Hope that helps

Answer: Mini Facelift results
At 2 months post-op there will still be some swelling and you should see some improvement over the coming months. Likely there is still some skin excess under your chin that may need to be addressed in the future. Definitely follow up with your surgeon and voice your concerns, but remember to be patient!!
