While a primary facelift is delicate enough, correcting or improving upon a previous procedure requires a new level of precision and artistry. When selecting a surgeon for a revision facelift procedure, it is important that patients choose an accomplished facial plastic and reconstructive specialist they can trust.
WHY IS A REVISION FACELIFT IS NECESSARY?
Patients may need to undergo a revision facelift procedure for one of the following reasons:
- The patient is unsatisfied with the results of the primary facelift. In these cases, the patient commonly possesses a dramatically altered appearance, such as a pulled back look or artificial effect, caused by the inadequate work of a previous surgeon.
- The patient's primary facelift was performed between eight and ten years ago, and they want to address new signs of aging that have occurred since their initial procedure.
AN OVERVIEW OF THE REVISION FACELIFT PROCEDURE
To begin the revision facelift, Dr. Sadati will administer general anesthesia and intravenous sedation to ensure a safe and comfortable procedure. Using the previous incision, he will work relentlessly to correct the cosmetic issues that concern you most, by sculpting, redistributing and repositioning the underlying fat and tissues, as well as lifting the deep facial muscles. Once he has addressed the signs of aging and imperfections discussed during the initial consultation, Dr. Sadati will redrape the skin over the uplifted contours and trim away any excess tissue.
From there, Dr. Sadati will close the incisions with very fine sutures before placing a bandage around the face to minimize swelling and bruising. Committed to your comfort and safety, Dr. Sadati will provide detailed instructions for post-operative care, as well as medication to help you manage the pain and prevent an infection.
