Beyond the First Facelift Surgery: Understanding and Excellence in Revision Facelift
Although there are many benefits to a revision facelift, the surgeon you choose to perform your secondary facelift must understand your concerns in order to create a tailored treatment plan that addresses specific issues and enhances the overall result. Therefore, a surgeon's experience in performing secondary or revision facelift surgery is very important not only from a technical aspect but also from a patient's perspective in understanding and managing expectations.

Redefining Beauty
Revision facelift surgery requires a high level of expertise due to its complexity and the unique challenges it presents. Advanced skills and knowledge in this field can significantly enhance your outcomes.
A deep understanding of facial anatomy is the utmost important factor in choosing a surgeon for your secondary facelift. If your surgeon treats a revision facelift the same as a primary facelift, there are consequential issues that may appear days, months, or sometimes years after the secondary facelift was performed.
Superior Techniques in Revision Facelift Surgery
Opinion in techniques to perform secondary facelift surgery or even primary facelift surgery differs from one surgeon to the next. I, along with most reputable surgeons, believe that a composite deep plane facelift is the most effective means of correcting imperfections such as asymmetry, scarring, pixie ears, unnatural tightness, or residual sagging attributed to a previous facelift. The deep plane technique allows for precise adjustments to address specific concerns that may have been inadequately addressed by earlier procedures.
Why Deep Plane?
The deep plane technique often results in better support for the facial structures, which can reduce the risk of complications such as skin laxity or recurrence of sagging. Furthermore, by redistributing tension across deeper tissues, the deep plane technique may help minimize post-operative complications related to excessive skin stretching or irregularities.

Addressing Scar Tissue: We carefully manage and address any scar tissue or fibrous bands from previous surgeries to avoid future complications such as uneven contours or restricted movement.
Avoiding Nerve Damage: Primary facelift surgery may alter the anatomy of the face and facial nerves may be repositioned and altered due to traction and distortion of the surrounding tissues. Dr. Bolourian in Orange County has developed techniques that make traumatizing the motor nerves (nerves responsible for facial movement) unlikely. We use a device to test the nerve, precisely identify it and protect it throughout your surgery.
Avoiding complications in revision facelift surgery involves a combination of thorough pre-operative assessment, customized surgical planning, expert technique, effective post-operative care, and proactive management of potential issues. By focusing on precision, communication, and ongoing patient support, Dr. Bolourian significantly reduces the risk of complications and achieves successful outcomes in revision facelift procedures.
Revision Facelift Frequently Asked Questions
A revision facelift is a surgical procedure performed to correct or enhance the results of a previous facelift. It addresses issues such as asymmetry, unsatisfactory results, scarring, or other complications from the initial surgery.
Common reasons for needing a revision facelift include dissatisfaction with the initial results, visible scarring, asymmetry, persistent sagging, or complications such as unnatural tightness or irregular contours. The effects of gravity and aging can eventually cause even the most beautiful results to fade eventually.
A revision facelift typically involves addressing specific problems from a previous surgery and may require more advanced techniques due to altered facial anatomy or scarring. The approach is often tailored to the unique needs arising from prior procedures.
Risks may include nerve damage (nerves that control facial movements), infection, hematoma (blood clots), seroma (fluid accumulation), scarring, asymmetry, or poor wound healing. Experienced surgeons minimize these risks through careful planning and advanced techniques.
Recovery time varies depending on the complexity of the procedure and individual factors. Generally, patients can expect some swelling and bruising for a few weeks, with most people returning to normal activities within 2 to 4 weeks. Full recovery and final results may take several months.
While a revision facelift aims to correct or improve upon previous results, the extent of improvement depends on the specific issues and the skill of the surgeon. A thorough consultation with Dr. Bolourian in Orange County helps set realistic expectations.
It's typically recommended to wait at least 6 to 12 months after the initial facelift before undergoing a revision. This allows time for the initial healing process to complete and for any residual swelling or changes to stabilize.
Look for a Facial Plastic Surgeon with extensive experience in revision facelifts. Review their portfolio of previous cases, read patient testimonials, and ensure they have a thorough understanding of both primary and revision facelift techniques.
Revision facelifts are usually considered elective procedures and are typically not covered by insurance. However, some exceptions may apply if there are medical reasons or complications related to the initial surgery. It’s best to check with your insurance provider for specific details.
During the consultation, Dr. Bolourian will review your medical history, discuss your concerns and goals, examine your facial anatomy, and recommend a treatment plan. He will also explain the risks, benefits, and expected outcomes of the revision facelift.
Prepare by following your surgeon’s pre-operative instructions, which may include avoiding certain medications, quitting smoking, and arranging for post-operative care. Discuss any concerns or questions with your surgeon beforehand.
Follow all pre- and post-operative instructions provided by Dr. Bolourian’s team, Maintain a healthy lifestyle, and attend all follow-up appointments. Clear communication with Dr. Bolourian about your goals and concerns also helps in achieving the best possible results.
When performed by an experienced surgeon, a revision facelift can achieve natural-looking results. The goal is to enhance your appearance while maintaining facial harmony and avoiding an “overdone” look.
Non-surgical options such as dermal fillers, Botox, or skin tightening treatments may be considered for certain issues, but they typically cannot address the same concerns as a surgical revision facelift. Dr. Bolourian can help determine the best approach based on your needs.
Set realistic expectations by thoroughly discussing your goals and concerns with Dr. Bolourian. Understanding the limitations and potential outcomes of the procedure helps ensure that you are well informed and prepared for the results.
