Is a revision facelift more complex than the first surgery?
Yes, revision facelifts are typically more complex because of existing scar tissue, altered anatomy, and changes in skin elasticity. A skilled surgeon must carefully navigate these factors to achieve natural-looking results without overcorrecting.
Will a revision facelift leave more scarring than my first facelift?
If performed correctly, a revision facelift should not significantly increase scarring. Surgeons use existing incision lines whenever possible and advanced techniques to minimize scar visibility. However, those prone to keloid or hypertrophic scars may need additional scar management treatments.
How long do the results of a revision facelift last?
A revision facelift typically lasts 8 to 12 years, depending on factors like skin quality, lifestyle, and genetics. Proper skincare, sun protection, and a healthy lifestyle can help prolong results.
Will a revision facelift look less natural than my first one?
Not necessarily. In fact, a revision facelift can look more natural if done correctly. Many patients seek revisions because their first facelift was too tight or unnatural. A revision can soften harsh results, restore lost volume, and correct asymmetry for a more balanced, refreshed look.
Can I combine a revision facelift with other procedures?
Yes, many patients choose to combine a revision facelift with other treatments to enhance results, such as Neck Lift, Eyelid Surgery, Fat Grafting, and Laser Resurfacing
