I am a 70 year old female. No health issues. On no medications. Walk 3-5 miles daily. Am 5’4” and 129lbs. Had a facelift done nearly 20 years ago and it has aged very well! But I’d like another one. So…are 2nd ones safe? How are the results compared to 1st facelifts? Mine was a SMAS lift. Would like the same. Thank you!

Answer: Revision Facelift Hello, hope you are well. Generally speaking, revision facelift surgery is safe with a similar risk profile as primary facelift surgery. The surgical expectations cannot be generalized in terms of how it will compare to your first facelift. You are a different person from 20 years ago. You will likely have a different starting point, a different surgeon (with a different surgical technique even it is still a "SMAS lift"), different recovery period, and different outcome. So you are more or less starting fresh, but with the knowledge that there will be scar tissue under your skin from the prior surgery. Good luck!

Answer: Second facelift, is it safe? A secondary facelift is just as safe as a primary facelift. It's very important that you study your perspective surgeon's before and after facelift photo gallery, which should be extensive with results that look very natural.
