Pretty much every surgery in the world is done with at least one assistant, unless it is an extremely small case, and even then it would be pretty rare as it is much more efficient to the surgeon and the patient to have an assistant. Basically, there's just not enough that can be done with two hands alone so you need at least another set of hands to help assist in the case, be it passing instruments, loading up sutures, holding skin away so you can use your hands to suture, etc.
Based on these photos and what you said, my suspicion is that you don't really have much fat left but instead are experiencing some platysma laxity -- as demonstrated by both the jowling and the blunting of the angle in the neck. If that is the case, you need surgery to address the platysma, which neither of the options mentioned would help you with that.
Yes, it can... I'm not sure why you would think it would not? .
