About Revision Facelift

A revision facelift aims to enhance your appearance if you are unhappy with the results of a previous facelift procedure. Many people undergo revision facelifts to address uneven facial features, sagging skin, and prominent scarring from earlier surgeries. Patients who have undergone a facelift may sometimes feel dissatisfied with the outcome due to several factors, including unsatisfactory cosmetic outcomes, changes in facial structure over time, or complications that arose after the initial surgery. The goal of a revision facelift is to achieve improved facial rejuvenation through advanced techniques that address these concerns.

Types of Revision Facelifts

There are multiple techniques that Dr. Yoo can perform during a revision facelift to help you achieve your desired look. Some of these techniques include:

Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS) Facelift: This technique involves lifting and tightening the layer of connective tissue beneath the cheekbones to create a more youthful-looking appearance. ⁽²⁾
Direct Lifting Techniques: This approach involves the repositioning of tissues through incisions typically located along the hairline or behind the ears, allowing for skin tightening and contour correction.
Fat Grafting: In cases where volume loss contributes to an unsatisfactory outcome, fat grafting can restore volume to your skin for a plumper, more youthful look.
Scar Revision Techniques: Revision facelifts can diminish the appearance of scars from previous surgeries for beautiful results.
Customizable Treatment: We can also administer dermal fillers to your skin to increase its volume for a more youthful look. Nonsurgical treatments such as dermal fillers have become popular adjuncts to address minor concerns following facelift surgery. ⁽³⁾

Benefits

Revision facelift procedures can be beneficial to patients in a variety of ways. Under Dr. Yoo’s expert care, patients see advantages like:

Enhanced Aesthetic Outcomes: Dr. Yoo can improve your facial contours to address your aesthetic goals and improve the outcome of a previous procedure.
Natural-Looking Results: Dr. Yoo uses modern techniques that can help you achieve beautiful, balanced results.
Improved Facial Symmetry: Dr. Yoo can address asymmetry from prior surgeries to create a more attractive and youthful-looking appearance.
Increased Confidence: Many patients report significant boosts in self-esteem after revision facelifts.
Personalized Approach: Each revision facelift is customized based on the patient’s specific needs, maximizing satisfaction.

Personal Consultation

Your revision facelift journey will begin with a comprehensive consultation, where you will meet with Dr. Yoo to evaluate the outcome of your previous surgery. Dr. Yoo will study your facial anatomy and take time to understand your aesthetic goals. He will provide a personalized plan designed to improve and refine your results. This in-depth approach will ensure that your concerns are fully addressed and that your revision procedure is tailored to your needs.

To get started on your journey toward an improved facial aesthetic, contact Dr. Yoo and his staff online or by calling either our Beverly Hills location at (424) 209-9925 or our Newport Beach office at (949) 861-3340 to schedule a consultation.

Preparation

Once your treatment plan is finalized and you have scheduled a date for your revision facelift, Dr. Yoo will walk you through the steps needed to prepare. Dr. Yoo and his staff will provide you with detailed, personalized preoperative guidelines to ensure you are confident and well-prepared heading into your treatment. You will need to temporarily discontinue certain medications and supplements that thin the blood. You must also temporarily stop using nicotine and drinking alcohol in the weeks leading up to surgery. Dr. Yoo will provide additional specific instructions, and his team will remain available to answer any questions you have.

Procedure

The details of your revision facelift will depend on the techniques utilized. During your procedure, Dr. Yoo will carefully work through previous incisions to minimize the appearance of scarring. He will meticulously release scarred or tethered tissues, reposition underlying facial structures, and remove or redistribute excess skin to restore smoother, more natural-looking contours. Every movement will be performed with extreme precision to correct areas of tension, asymmetry, or unnatural tightness left behind from your first procedure. This advanced approach will allow Dr. Yoo to refine your appearance without overcorrection to deliver a refreshed look that still appears natural and not overdone.

Recovery

Dr. Yoo and his team will provide you with detailed recovery instructions and monitor your progress during follow-up visits. You will likely be able to return home the same day as your surgery after a monitoring period. Most patients experience some swelling and bruising during the first few days that gradually subsides as their skin heals. Most patients feel comfortable returning to light activity within one to two weeks, although full recovery may take longer depending on the complexity of your revision. Dr. Yoo will advise you on when he feels it is appropriate to return to work and more strenuous activities.

Results

Depending on the technique, you will likely notice some results from your revision facelift immediately, with the majority of results appearing as any swelling subsides and your skin heals. You can enjoy smoother contours, more balanced features, and a natural-looking appearance. Dr. Yoo’s refined techniques will avoid an overly tightened look to restore youthful contours while preserving natural facial expression. With proper care and a healthy lifestyle, results from a revision facelift can be long-lasting.

Cost of Revision Facelift in Orange County, Irvine, and Beverly Hills

The cost of your treatment will depend on your personalized treatment plan. Dr. Yoo and his team are committed to transparent pricing and will give you a detailed cost estimate during your personal consultation once the details of your revision facelift are established.

Can I combine other procedures with the revision facelift?

Depending on your aesthetic goals, we may recommend combining a revision facelift with other treatments. We can discuss the most effective treatment plan during your consultation.

What if I am still unsatisfied with the results of my revision facelift?

If you are still unsatisfied with the results of your revision facelift, we can perform the procedure again once you have healed. Most patients are satisfied with their outcomes when expectations are carefully discussed in advance.

Do I need to keep my head elevated during my revision facelift recovery?

Yes, you should keep your head elevated during your recovery to promote circulation and reduce swelling. Recovery from a revision facelift is nearly identical to recovery from a primary facelift.

Many patients include procedures like brow lifts, neck lifts, eyelid lifts, and more in their facelift treatment plans. When we plan your revision facelift, we will consider the results of these procedures and plan around them so that they are preserved. If the results of these procedures also left you with unsatisfactory results, we can correct them during your revision facelift.
