Revision Facelift Surgery At JIYA Cosmetic

A facelift is a common and popular procedure that offers rejuvenation and a youthful appearance. However, not every facelift is successful or provides the desired results. Additionally, facelift results don’t last forever and can fade over time. When this happens, a revision facelift can be the ideal solution. Revision of facelift surgery can correct any complications from a prior procedure or rejuvenate the results if they’ve begun to fade.

At JIYA Cosmetic, Dr. Sumeet Jindal is one of Raleigh’s top facelift revision providers. With his knowledge and expertise, you can achieve the best results and undergo a successful surgery. 

Why Is A Revision Facelift Necessary?

A revision facelift is performed as a secondary procedure when the initial surgery doesn’t quite meet expectations. It’s also used when the first procedure needs additional help, which could be at any point. Whether your first surgery had complications or the results have begun to fade, a revision facelift is a secondary surgery to improve your aesthetics.

A revision facelift isn’t always necessary due to an incorrect first surgery. Complications with the healing process can also cause the need for a revision facelift. Whatever the reason, Dr. Jindal can help you achieve your goals and improve any issues from the initial surgery.

How Does A Revision Facelift Work?

A facelift revision needs much more precision than the first procedure because it creates scar tissue and needs different incision sites. However, this doesn’t mean it’s a complicated or painful surgery; more downtime is involved.

A facelift revision restructures the underlying tissue and muscle to lift the face and eliminate any unwanted results from the first procedure. The essential part of a facelift revision is choosing a highly qualified and experienced provider because they will have to work around pre-existing scar tissue or overly tightened skin. 

Reasons To Undergo A Revision Facelift

There are many reasons you may consider a revision facelift, aside from a “botched” initial surgery. A revision facelift can address things such as:

  • A facelift that has lost its luster, and the results have begun to fade 
  • The skin from the initial surgery was pulled too tight and is unnatural in appearance 
  • The initial surgery caused deep dimples or creases in the skin 
  • Loose skin and jowls are still present 
  • The first surgery used outdated methods and needs to be improved
  • The initial facelift left visible scarring 

If you’re dealing with any of these complications from a facelift, a revision surgery is worth considering. Improving your prior procedure is perfectly fine if you aren’t happy with your results or just want to refresh them.

Are There Risks?

There are risks with any surgery, and a revision facelift is more complex than the initial surgery. Because of this, it’s essential you work with an experienced and knowledgeable provider to ensure safe, successful results. Revision facelift risks include but are not limited to:

  • Nerve damage & muscle weakness 
  • Infection or skin loss 
  • Bleeding 
  • Fluid buildup 
  • Additional scarring or deformed areas due to skin tension 
  • Overly tightened skin 
  • Uneven hairline or scarring 
  • Difficulties healing 
  • Negative reaction to the anesthesia

Working with an experienced and knowledgeable provider can significantly lower risks and promote successful results. You want to work with someone who has often performed the surgery, understands your needs, and knows the advanced methods necessary to perform a successful facelift revision. 

What To Expect From A Revision Facelift

You’ll want to attend consultations with multiple providers before choosing. Take your time, ask questions, and get informed. At JIYA Cosmetic, Dr. Jindal takes time to understand every patient’s goals, provide in-depth information, and create the best plan for your revision facelift.

Before your revision facelift, you’ll attend an initial consultation with Dr. Jindal. This consultation serves a few purposes, which include:

  • Review your medical history to make sure the procedure is safe for you 
  • Discuss your previous surgery and aesthetic concerns 
  • Create the ideal surgical plan that delivers your ideal results

Facelift Revision Surgery

A revision facelift is a complex procedure that can take three to five hours to complete. Your exact surgery depends on the types of methods included in your tailored plan. After the surgery, you’ll be ready to return home with a loved one after Dr. Jindal ensures you are safe to do so. 

Revision Facelift Recovery

Revision facelift recovery depends on the methods used during surgery and how quickly your body heals. It usually requires a longer recovery, but Dr. Jindal provides extensive instructions to help you heal correctly. These instructions may include:

  • Plan to take at least two weeks off of work to rest (longer if instructed) 
  • Leave the surgical wrap on until Dr. Jindal removes it 
  • Rest propped up to support blood flow 
  • Avoid any exercise until Dr. Jindal clears you 
  • Take any prescribed pain medication to help you rest 
  • Attend all follow-up appointments with Dr. Jindal

Dr. Jindal will give you more recovery instructions before your surgery. He can provide more recovery steps suited to the techniques used during the revision facelift.
