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.

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.

Revision Facelift Procedure

A revision facelift requires advanced techniques and a customized approach to address each patient’s unique needs. Dr. Sedgh employs several facelift techniques:

SMAS Lift: Lifts deeper facial tissues and repositions muscles to restore natural contours.
Deep Plane Lift: Provides a more comprehensive lift by adjusting the facial muscles at a deeper level.
MACS Lift: Uses shorter incisions for a targeted lift in the lower face and neck area.

After careful planning, Dr. Sedgh begins with small, strategically placed incisions, often using previous incision lines to minimize scarring. He carefully repositions the underlying facial muscles and removes excess skin, ensuring a natural, balanced lift that does not appear overly tight.

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.
