Revision Facelift Q&A

What is a revision facelift?

A revision facelift is a facial surgery performed to correct or improve the results of a previous facelift. Whether due to natural aging, unsatisfactory outcomes, or complications from an earlier procedure, a revision facelift offers the chance to restore or refine your appearance.

You can rely on world-renowned facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Friedman, to deliver excellent results. He has the skill and experience to perform this complex surgery. He understands how to work with altered tissue and previous surgical changes.

Which issues can a revision facelift address?

Patients often seek a revision facelift for a variety of reasons, including:

Visible scarring or poor incision healing
Asymmetry or uneven facial contours
Skin laxity or sagging that has returned over time
Overtight or unnatural results from a prior facelift
Residual jowls or neck laxity
General dissatisfaction with initial results

A revision facelift can help correct these concerns and provide a more natural, balanced, and youthful appearance.

How does a revision facelift work?

During a revision facelift, Dr. Friedman carefully evaluates the outcomes of the first procedure and creates a personalized plan to address your concerns. This can involve:

Repositioning deeper facial tissues
Removing or redistributing fat
Tightening muscles
Improving skin tone

Because previous surgical work can cause scarring or tissue changes beneath the skin, the procedure is highly customized and requires advanced techniques to avoid complications and achieve the best results.

What can I expect during my revision facelift recovery?

Recovery from a revision facelift is generally similar to that of the initial facelift. However, it might take slightly longer due to the added complexity of the revision. Most patients experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the first few weeks.

You need to rest, avoid strenuous activity, and keep your head elevated to minimize swelling. Dr. Friedman typically removes your stitches 5-10 days after the procedure. Many patients can return to social activities within 2-3 weeks.

As healing continues, results become more noticeable over the next few months. Your final outcome should look natural and refined, helping you feel more confident and satisfied with your appearance. Regular follow-ups with Dr. Friedman ensure that you’re healing properly.
