This was 5 weeks after

Out of order photo? Not sure how to post this 5 week pic? Look at my jawline! Ugh...so sad :( It started to fall a week or so later. I just don't know what to do? Redo the whole thing or just be sad and take the financial loss.

What a bummer. You must be really disappointed. Why the mini lift if I may ask?
Hi I’m sorry to hear you are not happy. Did you have a lower face lift with your neck lift or is it hay the same as a mono lift? Are you going for a second surgery?
How much did you pay for everything?
Always get in writing how long your face lift will last because a mini face left doesn't last more than 1 year. I asked my doctor in writing how long it would last he said 10 years and I should have sued him for that...cuz it was 1 year max
They last much longer than a year if you are a candidate for one. They are not meant to be done on people who have a ton of skin laxity to begin with. I have 2 friends who got a mini lift done (5 and 8 years ago) and both still look amazing. Obviously can't share their results but if you look at Tamra Judge from RHOC she had one done too years ago and she still looks like perfection.
Shane you can't downgrade your star rating. The lack of bruises and drains might indicate not much done on the deeper level. Would be too dangerous by far under local. Sounds dangerous

Sorry to say my surgery didn't seem to take???

Sorry couldn't update! Lost login info! After about 6 weeks I noticed a really full feeling under my chin, like a collar. Dr. thought is was delayed swelling because I didn't have initial swelling! Did many lymphatic massages, Dr. did Pelleve treatments to tighten, but no luck. It continued to fall. I am so sad and hate looking in the mirror. After 7 months I am right back where I started from. I have no idea what happened? Dr. says I may need a slight tuck up. 2nd opinion Dr. says total redo with shaving the submandibular glands as they are now appear very prominently. Depressing especially because it looked so amazing and I was so happy. Dr. disappointed too.

My heart goes out to you. Sad the surgeon would fix. You expect time to march on but not fall in such short time.
This happened to me as well…I tried sending you an email… not sure if you got it. Yeah keep your head. Please respond. Thanks.
