When a Previous Facelift Falls Short, Trust an Expert

A facelift doesn’t always deliver the expected results. Sometimes, it may require revision surgery if the outcome is uneven, unnatural, or begins to fade over time. Whether you’re facing complications from a previous facelift or want to refresh results from an earlier surgery, a revision facelift with Dr. Leong can help restore a youthful, balanced appearance.

When Is Revision Facelift Surgery Necessary?

Various factors can lead to the need for a revision facelift. These may include surgical errors, the passage of time, or complications from the initial procedure. Common issues that can necessitate revision surgery include:

Visible or excessive scarring
Thread lift complications, such as visible sutures
Unmet aesthetic expectations
An unnatural or “overdone” appearance
Asymmetry or uneven results
Unusual appearance of the earlobes
Lack of facial harmony or balance
Signs that the face appears surgically altered
Dimpling, dents, or other contour irregularities

What to Expect from Revision Facelift Surgery

It can be distressing to discover that your original facelift didn’t meet your expectations or that its results are fading. The good news is that a revision facelift can correct these issues—provided it’s performed by a highly skilled facial plastic surgeon. Dr. Leong takes a personalized approach, carefully assessing the specific problems caused by the initial surgery, whether they stem from outdated techniques, procedures done abroad, or technical errors.

During your revision facelift, Dr. Leong will address issues such as scarring, contour irregularities, or unnatural tension in the skin. Recovery times are similar to those of the initial facelift, but if extensive scar tissue is present, recovery may take slightly longer.

The Challenges of Revision Facelift Surgery

Revision facelifts are often more complex than initial procedures due to the presence of thinner skin, scar tissue, and improper repositioning of underlying facial structures. These factors can result in a tight, pulled, or asymmetrical look.

The goal of a revision facelift is to correct these complications and restore a balanced, youthful appearance. Dr. Leong’s experience with complex facial anatomy and his focus on long-lasting, natural results make him uniquely qualified to address these challenges.

Refresh Your Look with a Second Facelift

Even a well-executed facelift cannot stop the aging process. Over time, the skin may begin to sag and droop again, often 10 to 15 years after the original procedure. A revision facelift can help restore the refreshed, youthful look you initially achieved, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of a rejuvenated appearance for years to come.
