Neck and Jowl Lipo Surgery post-op.

4 years later feel I need a revision or lower face lift

$2,915
I feel the lipo helped four years ago but I feel that I need to get it again or do something more drastic like mini face lift or lower face lift. I don't want to have to get lipo ever four years. I want something more permanent. I am 42 now. When I look at my neck, there are some weird vertical bands that came after the first lipo. Dr. Eberhard said they would go away but they have not. I don't know if they are lipo cannula scar lines or something else.

Have you thought about a chin implant? That along with lipo again might be better than just lipo.
I Think you Will be fine whit a neck lift where they tight your plastyma bands at the right posion…
You probably did need a submental lipectomy with platysmaplasty. I went to see a PS for lipo and he told me it was more the muscle that needed to be tightened than it was fat. So I had that done and he was able to remove any fat above and below the muscle (that can't be done with lipo). Drastic results. I think when the double chin is a downward slope like you have (and I had) it is often primarily the muscle. The bands you see now are the loose muscle that became more visible after lipo, this is common. I think you need to have the platysmaplasty. It will make a big difference, it gave me a 90 degree angle. It tightens your while jawline and reduces the visibility of jowls.

It's been a few months since the surgery so I figured I would upload some photos. Definitely see some results but sometimes I forget. I like to look at the before and after pictures to remind myself that there is a results.

Looking so much better. I am 2 days post op and can't wait to see my end result.
Looks just beautiful. Kind of hard to see with the filter, but it looks like you got really amazing results. Wish I could see side be side before and after. I have the very same issues as you had.
Wonderful result! Congrats!
Can you post a side profile pic? We have almost exact same proportions in our before profiles. I’m on day 4 post, and not impressed so far. Feeling kinda discouraged.
Did you post profile pictures?

Before and After Photos

I had my one month post-op appointment recently. They took after photos. Here are some pictures of me before my surgery and one month after. I don't feel that it's significant changes but there are some changes. I hope that there will be a little more change in the next month or two. I asked and have read and it can take up to 3 months to get full results. I'm just hoping to get more of an angle or structure to see my chin line more. What is your opinion? Do you see any results?

Hi, how is your neck now? Any progress?
Sure it's better than before! I think it was worth it so far.
Still waiting for final results. Just gotta be patient.
I can see a difference but it still looks very swollen, try massage. I am 4 months post it took a long time
Thank you for the comment. You were right. I had to wait for the swelling to go down to see any results. It took a little while.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with the community here! How are things looking these days?
Things are looking pretty good. It took me awhile to see results due to the swelling but it was worth the wait. I just wish it was a little more noticeable to everyone else. I just don't really see it until I look at the before and after pictures.
