Revision Facelift and Neck Lift
Recovery
2–3 weeks: Swelling, bruising, and tightness fade; back to light activity
About Revision Facelift and Neck Lift
Revision facelift and neck lift, also called secondary facelift, corrects or refreshes the result of a previous face or neck lift. It fixes problems left from the first surgery, or restores a youthful look as natural aging continues over the years.
Because there is already scar tissue and changed anatomy, this surgery is more complex, it needs a specialist with advanced skill and experience.
What It Can Achieve
🔹 Refresh & Rejuvenate
- Lift and tighten sagging skin and deeper tissues
- Smooth cheeks, jawline, and neck
- Restore clear definition between chin and neck
🔹 Correct & Refine
- Improve symmetry and balance
- Soften or hide old scars
- Fix tight, stretched, or distorted areas like earlobes
- Remove remaining fat or loose skin
🔹 Restore Softness
- Often combined with fat grafting to bring back natural fullness
- Can add laser or skin treatments to improve texture
- May be done with eyelid or brow work for complete harmony
How It Differs From First Surgery
- More complex: Surgeon works around old scars and changed tissue
- Reuses old incisions: Cuts are placed in the same hidden lines around ears and hairline, no extra visible marks
- Needs careful handling: Skin elasticity may be lower than before
Ideal Candidate
Ideal for clients:
- Skin becoming loose again
- Jowls or sagging returning along the jawline
