Restore or Improve Results from Prior Facelifts with Revision Faceift Surgery

Facelift surgery is a popular cosmetic procedure that can help patients achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance by tightening and lifting sagging skin in the face and neck area. While the results of a facelift can be long-lasting, some patients may experience changes in their facial structure or additional signs of aging over time, which may require revision facelift surgery.

What is Revision Facelift Surgery?

So what exactly is a revision facelift, and how does it differ from a traditional facelift procedure? In essence, a revision facelift is a secondary procedure that is performed after a patient has already undergone a facelift in the past. This may be necessary if the patient's initial surgery did not achieve the desired results, or if they have experienced further aging or changes in their facial structure since their first procedure.

Revision facelift surgery is typically more complex than a primary facelift, as the surgeon must work with existing scars and tissue changes in order to achieve the desired outcome. In many cases, the surgeon will need to perform additional tightening or lifting of the underlying facial muscles in order to correct any sagging or laxity that may have occurred since the first surgery.

How is Revision Facelift Surgery Different from a
Traditional Facelift?

While a traditional facelift focuses on tightening and lifting the skin of the face and neck, revision facelift surgery is more complex and involves addressing specific issues caused by the initial procedure. These may include uneven results, scarring, or asymmetries.

During revision facelift surgery, the surgeon may need to work with scar tissue from the previous procedure, which can make the surgery more challenging. In some cases, additional procedures such as fat grafting or laser resurfacing may be needed to achieve the desired results.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Revision facelift surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. The length of the procedure will depend on the specific needs of the patient, but it generally takes longer than a traditional facelift.

During the surgery, the surgeon will make incisions in the same areas as the previous procedure, typically around the ears and along the hairline. The surgeon will then lift and reposition facial tissues, remove excess skin, and tighten underlying muscles as needed.

After the surgery, patients will need to follow specific post-operative instructions to ensure proper healing. This may include avoiding strenuous activities, keeping the head elevated, and taking prescribed medications.
