Not happy with results - my neck looks like a turkey

ORIGINAL POST

Neck lift

Schal
$15,000
Went to Dr. Beninger for a neck lift and lower facelift in June 2021. A neck lift is tightening the plastyma muscles of the neck along with excess skin removal. i'm not happy with results, my neck looks like a turkey , i can actually grab the excess skin! i was first told even if he fixed it , it would only go back after a few months . I have nerve damage that he brushed off, saying it's probably not nerve damage but just the tightness of the face muscle he pulled . i felt like he was patronizing me during my visits. i wasted 15 thousand dollars and now will have to spend another 12 thousand to have it corrected. He is willing to try again and the charge would be around 4,500 but i can't get myself to make the same mistake twice . I send my friends elsewhere.

So he flat out admitted that if he performed a neck lift that the skin would just return? A second and third opinion sounds like it could be useful here. If neck skin returned every time, no one would pay for a neck lift. I’m so sorry you went through all this. I hope you find a resolution.

I am dealing with this now. My surgeon did not even address my anterior neck and told me after the procedure that she decided not to do the platysmaplasty because it would be harder to do a chin implant in the future. Wtf?
