What Is Facelift Revision Surgery?
Facelift revision, also known as secondary facelift or facelift touch-up, is a procedure designed to correct or enhance the results of a prior facelift. This surgery aims to restore a more natural and youthful appearance, whether due to aging, surgical complications, or unmet expectations. Dr. Sonny O uses advanced techniques to address skin laxity, scarring, and facial asymmetry.
Targeted Areas in Revision Facelift
A revision facelift surgery can address specific facial regions, including:
- Jowls and jawline: Reducing sagging skin and redefining contours.
- Neck: Tightening loose skin and underlying muscles
- Midface: Restoring volume and lifting cheeks
- Perioral area: Smoothing wrinkles around the mouth.
These targeted improvements contribute to a balanced and refreshed facial appearance.

Who Is a Candidate for Facelift Revision Surgery?
You are eligible for a facelift revision if you have had a facelift in the past, but time and gravity have taken over and lessened the effects of that lift, or the results were not acceptable. You may be a suitable candidate if you’re experiencing signs of aging that have reappeared over time and your skin retains sufficient elasticity for surgical correction.
A thorough consultation with Dr. O will determine the best approach for your concerns.
What Is Facelift Revision Surgery Like?
The details of each patient’s revision facelift procedure are unique since they are personalized to address each patient’s specific issues. Generally, anesthesia will be administered, followed by the creation of incisions. Whenever possible, the original facelift incisions will be used.
The tissues of the face will then be carefully adjusted to create a naturally youthful and rejuvenated appearance. Any issues created by the original facelift will be addressed. The procedure involves lifting and repositioning facial tissues to correct previous problems and enhance overall aesthetics.
What Should You Expect from Recovery?
After a secondary facelift procedure, patients must follow Dr. O’s recovery directions as closely as possible. It helps ensure high-quality results and a minimized chance of complications, like with typical facellift procedures.
You must keep your head elevated after the surgery to reduce facial swelling. Bruising may also be present and can be addressed with a cold compress. When you are experiencing any post-surgical pain or discomfort, you can take pain-control medication as directed.
Take time off from your job to rest and heal. Avoiding any physically taxing activities will be vital, mainly engaging in sports, since these can result in unintended trauma to the area.
Benefits of Facelift Revision Surgery
- Enhanced facial symmetry: Correcting uneven results from prior surgery
- Improved scarring: Refining or minimizing visible scars
- Natural appearance: Achieving a more youthful look without an overdone effect
- Long-lasting results: Addressing aging signs that were not fully corrected initially
These benefits contribute to a more satisfying and enduring outcome.
Facelift Revision Surgery Cost
The cost of your facelift revision surgery depends on several factors. The exact techniques required can affect the total price, as can anesthesia fees and the total time needed to perform the procedure. Because every revision is unique, you’ll receive a more accurate and personalized cost estimate during your consultation with Dr. O.
