I had a face life done on June 25th 2004 and when I discussed this with my surgeon prior to my surgery we discussed my neck. I had lost sixty pounds and had a very loose turkey neck which was one of my biggest concerns. He explained that he would make a small incision under my chin and tighten the muscle which looked like to cords. but he did not make any incision there and I still see the cords and still have some loose skin which pushes up when I wear a Turtleneck sweater also the saliva gland on the left side is enlarged and looks like a big bump on my neck. The loose skin is on the right side and I would imagine if the left side did not have the enlarged gland the skin would be loose also. I have talked tohim about this many times but he keeps saying He couldn't do any better because I had so much loose skin on the neck. I will be seeing him on January 27 again for a chek up. What should I do about this problem since he said he was to fix the muscle and he didn"t. I feel I didn't get what I paid for.!!!!!!!!!!

Because your situation seems to be upsetting you quite a bit, you may want to consult another plastic surgeon. He or she maybe able to give you a second opinion, and possibly be able to meet your goals... Good luck!

Plastic surgery to remove facial wrinkles, sagging skin, fat deposits, or other visible signs of aging for cosmetic purposes. Also called rhytidectomy,Face lift is a common and typically successful procedure, but, like any surgery, it is not without its risks. Before making an informed decision about whether to undergo rhytidectomy, you must weigh the benefits of face lift surgery against its risks and potential side effects. While face lift surgery can turn back the clock, correct sagging skin, tighten facial muscles, and improve your facial contour, it can also cause nerve damage, visible scarring, swelling, bruising, and pain.

If still you feel that skin is loose you should again consult the doctor for this.

aw.. that sounds like a tough problem.. a friend of mine also experienced that before.. goo thing he met surgeons from Advanced Plastic Surgery Center. It is located in Virginia.

I would suggest seeking another facial cosmetic surgeon. Just a consultation is required if there are alternate solutions. The thing is, you should have consulted the one that is well experienced and reliable. Anyways get if you have decided to take another surgery, make sure this time it would worth.
