Revision Facelift

A revision facelift is performed to refine or repair a previous facelift procedure. Also called a secondary facelift, this procedure can either improve a successful facelift that has aged over time or resolve problems in several areas of the face that were undertreated or wrongly corrected in a first facelift.

A PRECISION SURGERY: REVISION FACELIFT

This type of plastic surgery requires extreme precision and customized techniques to address the problems associated with the first facelift or restore the youthful look that has diminished due to age. Those who undergo this corrective procedure can expect renewed or even better results than were achieved in the first surgery, with tighter skin and a lifted appearance that looks youthful and natural.

WHEN IS A REVISION FACELIFT NECESSARY?

Revision facelifts are typically for patients who are unhappy with the results of their previous facelift procedure. But even with a successful facelift, a person may still need to undergo a revision later, as the bony and soft tissue of the face continue the aging process as the years pass, with further receding, thinning, and drooping. The skin will also continue to lose elasticity, sagging and drooping over time.

WHAT IS THE REVISION
FACELIFT PROCEDURE?

A revision facelift can be addressed with several approaches, depending on the issues and areas of the face needing resolution. Dr. Sedgh uses only the safest and most advanced face-lifting techniques to achieve the optimum lift; a face that appears fresh, graceful, and natural.

TECHNIQUES IN SURGERY

There are three techniques most commonly used:
Every facelift technique is different, and a fully tailored procedure that addresses your individual needs will create the best results. As with most facelift procedures, a revision facelift is typically performed under local or general anesthesia.

INCISIONS

To begin surgery, the doctor creates a strategic incision (usually at the scarring site from the initial facelift) to obtain maximum access to the underlying facial tissues. The specific details of the actual procedure will depend on the chosen technique, but generally, once the incisions have been made, Dr. Sedgh will reposition and tighten the deeper tissues to avoid skin-only pulling, which can result in a skeletal, tight, or overdone appearance.

ADDITIONAL PROCEDURES

In most cases, Dr. Sedgh may also incorporate liposuction to remove excess fatty deposits for a more sculpted, refined look. In other cases, he may use fat grafting to add volume and reduce the appearance of hollow cheeks or temples.

In combination with the facial portion of the procedure, the doctor may perform neck contouring to smooth away vertical neck bands and minimize the appearance of “turkey neck” directly under the chin. The length of the procedure will vary depending on your needs and the extent of the revisions required.

RECOVERY TIME

A revision facelift is usually an outpatient procedure. After the surgery, a cotton dressing is placed around the neck and face to support the results and protect the treated area. Swelling, mild pain, and bruising are some of the expected side effects.
If you take the prescribed medications and follow all post-op instructions, you should have a fast and comfortable recovery. Depending on the extent of the surgery and other individual factors, it takes about two to three weeks for patients to become “socially presentable” following the surgery.

A PERSONALIZED FOLLOW-UP

Expect to meet with Dr. Sedgh for several follow-up appointments throughout the next few months and up to a year so he can monitor your progress and ensure you are recovering properly.
