I need a second neck lift from aging ten years after the successful first. Is a revision specialist recommended?

Secondary (or revision) necklifts and facelifts are frequently performed, as many patients are having their first lift at a younger age and then desire to maintain a healthy, more youthful look as years pass.  It is best to seek out a plastic surgeon who has experience with primary and revision face and/or necklifts.  The anatomical conditions being treated are similar, but there are some special concerns for the revision operations.    The presence of scar tissue from the first procedure many affect the way in which the muscle and skin can be shifted.  And the position of underlying nerves may have been altered slightly.  As with a primary lift, the most important aspect is for the surgeon to carefully analyze the anatomical changes that need to be improved, and to plan a safe operation to improve your appearance.  Surprisingly, there is often less loose skin that needs removal than one would think, and more work is often done on the deeper tissues.

Thank you for your question, Maxime. I suggest you consult with board certified facial plastic surgeons for a handful of in-person opinions. Consider the Laser-Assisted Weekend Necklift which contours the neck line utilizing laser technology and hidden incisions while providing a short recovery of a few days. Based on your age and your desires, you may be a great candidate for this procedure. Best wishes,

A lower face/neck lift is a great procedure now that it is done under local with a little iv sedation. Everytime you do it, it is like a new procedure except that there is a little more fibrous tissue involved which may make it a little longer but not a big deal in most cases.
