I had full face and neck lift done in October 2024. Since all of the swelling has gone my neck is saggy again. The muscle below my chin line was tightened and still feels tightened. I was cut completely around my ears and they have healed great. It's just the sagging skin on my neck. They are doing Skintyte Laser on me and then want to do fat transfer. Thoughts?
I had a neck lift 4 weeks ago. Within the second week I felt a pop under my chin when I stifled a yawn. I contacted my surgeon and he said not to be too concerned as there are many internal stitches and that we'd keep an eye on it. After 4 weeks, I have odd protrusions under my chin. Surgeon said it could be muscles that moved when stitch popped but we'd have to wait and see. Is there a chance this could just be swelling or build up that will contour in time or will surgery be necessary?
I had a neck lift along with a facelift and upper and lower blepharoplasty 19 days ago. At day 12 my surgeon told me to start massaging my neck left to right right to left. It was very painful and my neck swelled quite a lot. Now I am at 19 days and this still makes my neck swell. My doctor had me massaging the scars on my eyes at 12 days which turned out to not be such a great idea. Thus far, it feels like an even worse idea for my neck.
Lower neck lift in July. Uneventful. Good healing and little bruising. Lots of swelling especially at the sides by my jaw. Had platysmaplasty with no lipo as it was stated it was not needed. It has been almost four months but I am disappointed at the sagging skin and bands if that is even what it is. My Dr. said in September he had hoped for a better result with the banding and injected Botox seeing if that would help. It did not. I see him again in November. Is this revision material?
I am 58 and 6 years ago I had a deep plane facelift. Just recently, I have been getting a sensation of swelling or tightness under my chin and in front right and left sides of my neck. I did have the playtysmal band corset (?) done at the same time as my facelift. What can be causing this sensation? I realize it may not be the facelift , but I have no swelling of glands, had my thyroid checked etc. All fine. HELP I am 58, 5'4 109lbs. have not gained or lost any significant weight.
I have never had a neck angle. I thought liposuction would help but after seeing several Board Certified surgeons, it is clear the main problem is a low hyoid bone/ muscles and a weak chin. The advice is a neck lift followed later by fillers or a chin implant. Are there any lifts that help specifically with this problem this in younger patients? I have had several types recommended (trampoline/ corset). What is recovery like? How long does swelling last? Are there any risks having it so young?
after platysmaplasty to correct bands in front from overdone lipo (both w double board cert celeb ny doc), right side of jaw has bulge that was never there before. left has a slight one but less noticeable. Now 3.5 months post. mass feels very hard. Also hard flat bands appear in location when stretching neck up. What could this be? Can p plasty cause glands to fall when ok before? Doc says just swelling but hasn't changed in 2 months. No lateral pull, only corset in front. No lipo/skin removed.
Is there a surgical touch up procedure that can be done after a neck lift to get rid of loose under chin skin? I am 6 weeks post op from a lower face and neck lift. I am very happy with the face lift but as the swelling is going down in my neck I have a lot of loose skin under my chin. Every day it seems to get worse. I have incisions behind and in front of my ears but not under my chin. I spoke with my surgeon and he thinks it looks fine
I'm 6 weeks into my healing and I'm still very swollen under my jaw. When I came home from the procedure I was swollen like a watermelon it was enormous. The swelling is about half the size it was but I'm concerned because it seems to have slowed down and staying the same size since about a week 1/2. I still can't go out in public because the swelling is so noticeable. I'm worried that something might be wrong and I don't see my doctor till next week. What can I do to help with the swelling until I see him again or should I ask to see him early?
