6 months post op with a concern

Neck Lift

Looking for some guidance. I lost 105lbs and had awful turkey neck, so I got a facelift/necklift/ upper bleph. I’ve noticed asymmetrical results as seen in the pics below. I went Back to my surgeon to address the concern and he said he didn’t think it was too concerning. I feel Like i need a revision but do not want to spend even more $ and recovery time. Is this acceptable? Am I overreacting?

Any surgeons can help me??!! I lost a lot of weight but now I have alotof excess skin

Body Lift

I lost a lot of weight and now I have excess skin everywhere. I can’t afford skin lift surgery and my ex husband left me with nothing financially. I know this is probably something that should be on the back burner but I tried to start dating and I’m really embarrassed. Someone even told me that they don’t lik that. This is mentally frustrating to me as I can’t be upset since it’s the truth.
