Revision Facelift in NYC

Whether due to natural aging or incomplete results from an earlier surgery, a revision facelift helps refine and restore a more youthful appearance. Dr. Rothaus brings years of expertise and a patient-centered approach to deliver the best possible outcomes for revision facelift procedures at The Haus MD.

What is a Revision Facelift?

A revision facelift is a corrective surgical procedure designed to improve the results of a previous facelift. This surgery addresses residual sagging or loose skin, unnatural contours or asymmetry, and scarring or other complications from the initial procedure. By carefully revisiting and adjusting the underlying facial structures, Dr. Rothaus helps patients achieve a more harmonious and natural-looking outcome that aligns with their aesthetic goals.

Revision Facelift vs. Full Facelift

While both procedures aim to enhance facial aesthetics, they differ in their focus and purpose:

• Revision Facelift: This procedure specifically addresses concerns stemming from a prior facelift, such as incomplete results, continued aging, or surgical errors.
• Full Facelift: A comprehensive surgery targeting aging signs across the mid-face, lower face, and neck for patients without previous facelifts.

How Does a Revision Facelift Work?

A revision facelift begins with carefully assessing the existing facial anatomy and any prior surgical alterations to determine the best approach. Discreet incisions are made, often along existing scars, to minimize additional scarring.

Dr. Rothaus then meticulously repositions tissues, removes excess skin, and corrects any irregularities to enhance facial harmony. The surgery usually takes 3 to 6 hours, depending on the case’s complexity.

What is the Recovery like After a Revision Facelift?

Recovery from a revision facelift is similar to that of an initial facelift, though it may require slightly more time due to the complexity of the procedure. Most patients experience swelling, bruising, and tightness, gradually subsiding over a few weeks.

Recovery milestones include:

• Returning to light activities within 2 weeks.
• Resuming normal activities, including exercise, after 4 to 6 weeks.
• Full results become apparent within several months as swelling resolves.

How Much Does a Revision Facelift Cost in NYC and Westchester?

The cost of a revision facelift varies based on factors such as the complexity of the procedure and the extent of correction required. Dr. Rothaus will provide a personalized quote during your consultation, including any additional costs for anesthesia or surgical facilities.

Are You a Good Candidate for a Revision Facelift?

During your consultation, Dr. Rothaus will evaluate your facial anatomy, discuss your concerns, and develop a personalized plan to achieve your desired results. You may be a good candidate for a revision facelift if:

• You are dissatisfied with the results of a previous facelift.
• You experience sagging, asymmetry, or other issues that weren’t fully addressed initially.
• You’ve allowed enough time (usually 6 to 12 months) for full healing from your previous surgery.
