Is it true that a 2nd face lift will never give the same results as a first face lift? Due to a lot of sun damage, I am considering a 2nd face lift ~7 years from my first. I LOVED my first face lift but a few people told me that I need to adjust my expectations for a 2nd. Thanks for any guidance you can provide.

Answer: Multiple face lifts Providing that you are expecting a refreshment of your current result, you will, very likely, be happy with secondary lift. Mild/moderate improvement for next 7-10 years is not a bad deal. Talk to your surgeon about that. Additional options for skin treatment, chemical peel, RF tightening are also available to be used in addition to face lift. Good luck.

Answer: Second Facelift... The results of a facelift depend on what you have going into it. If your neck is heavy and jowling is significant, then you should have a great result. If you have just more sun damage and wrinkles, then a facelift may not be the best procedure for you - sometimes laser resurfacing is better. Be sure to see a facial specialist for consultation.

Answer: Revision Facelift Good evening! It depends on how the first facelift was performed. A second facelift can offer great improvement especially if a deep plane facelift is performed. This involves much more dissection and positioning of the deep tissues and skin. The results can be quite nice, and last well past a decade. It really depends once the surgeon get under the skin to see the level of scarring. Sometimes, it goes relatively straightforward. Other times, it’s more of a challenge. In the end, I think improvements can be made. Hope this is useful to you!
