Neck lift results. Better neck, horrendous scars.

7 months after my neck lift to fix my neck and I would say the improvement is about 70%.
The lines from the kilo have reappeared, but the excess skin is WAY less and my side profile is defiantly better.
The trade off is that I have been left with HORRENDOUS scars around one of my ears.
Take a look at the photos.
I essentially swapped one problem for another. At least the scarring can be hidden better than a saggy neck. But I spent $17,000 and thenproblem is still not resolved. My self esteem is still ruined and now I’m flat broke..
I WISH I NEVER HAD PLASTIC SURGERY EVER!

Gosh, so sorry you’ve had a rotten time of it. Your neck does look great though! Have you spoken to the surgeon about the scaring? & that was a lot of dosh! Wasn’t there any aftercare for the scars? I think I would scar badly too & puts me off going under the knife. I would certainly go back & express how unhappy you are! Maybe he could recut or laser the scars & then go in an oxygen tank to boost healing. Hi about those special plastic plasters? Or retin A! Go back to him! Don’t let it ruin your life , no point in regrets either we all do things we wish we hadn’t. It’s done & not as bad as you think. Good luck

worse decision i made too was PS. I hope someone is reading this - accept who you are -- don't be a perfectionist no one cares but you. SERIOUSLY not worth how you will feel after. My heart breaks for victims of PS.

I will bet your scars can improve, please don't lose hope! Have you asked about Pulsed Dye Laser? Seems like it could work, and you've got pale skin so I bet they improve drastically. Chin up!

I’m so sorry. This happened to me as well, but involved my lower face. Don’t lose hope. The thing is to try to live for other things. I’m working on that, but it’s hard looking in the mirror. I know. Eventually, time is a healer and we learn to accept things we never thought were possible. Sending you best wishes,
Strength, Peace

Photos showing the empty pocket of skin i was left with after neck liposuction in 2013. Most photos are of me now in 2017. The skin never grew back. I was a healthy 31 year old at the time.

I had 2 treatments with kybella. Now I have a combo of that sagging area in the center and still some fat I don’t want on each side. Now I don’t know if I want more kybella and risk that center pat getting worse with the payoff of having that unwanted fat removed or just learn to deal. I noticed about a 60% improvement of the hanging skin after downloading an app that helps me make sure I an drinking enough water. It is insane how much we need to drink in a day for optimal skin elasticity.

I have the same problem after chin lipo 7 weeks ago, I now have 3 large vertical bands and sagging skin under the chin which is really ageing. I was hoping it would improve but from what you say it won't - very depressing.

Hi Sharntay, can you tell me if you are still happy with the neck lift decision after these years? I have the exact same problem, and I have been told facelift is the only solution. :( I am 40.
