I still have jowls and double chin. Loose skin is better than before.
Answer: Jowls and facelift
Swelling is typical after facelift. When the swelling resolves some skin laxity can remain that presents itselft as jowling. I don't know where you started from and how much improvement you got.
One option which can be combined with facelift is to consider a skin tightening Laser with or without fractional resurfacing. This can give you that little bit of extra tightening you need and improve the texture and quality of your skin at the same time. Something to consider.
I wish you well.

Answer: Skin better but deep contour less improved
Based on your photos it appears that you have had a lift where the deeper layers of the face and neck (muscle and fat) have not been improved as much. The reason for this could be your anatomy or the type of lift you had. photos would be helpful.

Answer: 2 months post neck / facelift and still have jowls / double chin
By 2 months post neck and facelift, you should notice significant improvement in your areas of concern, however, not everyone heals the same. It is difficult to answer your question without photos and a physical exam. You should first consult with your surgeon and look at your before and after photos in order to discuss your expectations and concerns.

Answer: Underwhelmed by Facelift Results?
At 2-3 months, there should be a discernible improvement in your neck and jawline although some minor swelling will still be present. The lack of pictures makes it impossible to be more specific. I would advise that you return to your Surgeon and discuss your concerns.

Answer: Facelifts do not correct the peri-oral area.
Often what you and your surgeon consider to be jowls are are actually not jowls but rather the demarcation between the fullness of the cheek and the labiomandibular fold. The fold is there not because of fullness from the jowl. Rather the area just beyond the jowl is missing volume. This means you can yank up the side of the face until the cows come home with no resolution of the jowl. The answer is placement of volume in the depressor angulii oris region. This can be done with fillers like Perlane.
