I have necrotic skin due to a facelift. It’s been 2 years but the facelift left me worse of than before. I need a revision. A facial surgeon said that it can not be performed because the skin is dead and won’t hold the revision. Can I have a revision with this necrotic skin?
Answer: Skin No, you need to wait until you have excess skin in that area which can be removed. Scar tissue does not produce excess skin very quickly. If it is tried now, you just may lose more skin and look worse.

Answer: Revision Facelift Hello, hope you are well. The answer to your question depends on how much skin laxity there is in your face. You can absolutely undergo a revision facelift, but if there is not enough healthy skin to mobilize, lift, and re-drape, some scar tissue may still remain. You would need to submit more detailed photos or have an in-person consultation to help you determine what you could reasonably expect from revision surgery.

Answer: Secondary I do not believe that this will be an issue at all as long as it has been at least 1 year from the initial injury/surgery. I would find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. I always tell prospective patients to look at the plastic surgeon's training (ideally a 6 year integrated plastic surgery residency and a 1 year aesthetic fellowship accredited by The Aesthetic Society). In addition, examine before/after photos on social media platforms. I would also look at Google or RealSelf reviews. This will help you get a comprehensive understanding of your provider.
