Do I need a revision or is there other treatments for stress lines in the skin after facelift? (Photo)

Question

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

You do not give information about how long is this photo taken after surgery; it appears relatively recent? Swelling and tension may create lines which will disappear in time. Skin moisturizers, sun protection, gentle massage, may help. If similar problems persist, additional modalities of skin treatment (not surgery) may be considered. Hope this helps.

I would consider laser or dermabrasion  before resorting to a surgical revision. If you get some improvement from
Non surgical methods it may be worth repeating after three to six months

Hello. These are not stress lines, these are classic complication problems of a superficial facelift done in the wrong vector and overdrawn. I think you had your surgery recently because your suture scars have not healed yet. Therefore, you can wait a little longer and then get rid of this result with a deep plan facelift. However, make sure that the surgeon who will perform your revision this time is an experienced physician who performs deep plan. If you wish, you can check our instagram address. You can get more detailed information about me, ask all questions about your case and sending your photos to my assistants at the number on my profile. You can also book an online consultation and discuss your problems with me. With all respect.

Dear flattofat,Thanks for your question and photo. It is too early for a revision surgery. Your skin and deep tissues need to heal. At this point, I would recommend skin resurfacing with either laser or peel. This will help with the skin appearance and lines. All the best,Dr. Sanan, MDDouble board certified facial plastic surgeonLos Angeles, CA

Yor lines were caused by too much vertical pull of the skin. I dont think you have enough skin current;y to reposition the flap - maybe in the future as things settle. I would do a facial  laser with the Sciton TRL now and you would get significanr improvement
