There are two issues which are separate of each other. The first issue is the re-draping of the ski. This can be addressed by a mini face lift. I have looked at your pictures, and I don't think you need a full revision face lift. The terms I use are not interchangeable because every doctor uses the terms mini-lift and full face lift differently. I see a mini face lift as tightening the skin and underlying muscle structure. I do not know how much tightening of the SMAS occurred on your previous surgery, nor do I know if your recent weight loss may have contributed to the overall looseness. The second thing I would suggest is full face resurfacing with CO2 laser to grow new collagen and enhance the appearance of the skin. CO2 is one of the few entities that really addresses the skin itself and actually grows new collagen. Take a look at the attached picture of a woman with a face lift and CO2 laser. (less)
