I had a full face lift one year ago but my mouth is downturned and my lower face just looks droopy. when can I have the lower face redone? My surgeon did say that he likes to be conservative. I'm 55 years old
Answer: Revision face lift Revision face lift can be done any time after initial procedure depending of the severity of residual "deformity". However, most plastic surgeons would probably suggest to wait about 1 year until "deformity" is stable and well defined so the surgeon can decide what type of procedure(s) to select to improve result. In person evaluation is needed for more accurate evaluation and planning. Good luck.

Answer: When can I have a secondary facelift? Many thanks for posting your question.There is no fixed time for having a secondary facelift, but as a rule, for any plastic surgery, waiting at least a year is the minimum we would recommend. This is due to all the scar tissue (internal and external) needing time to mature and soften.Without any pictures it is hard to comment further, but my recommendation would be to discuss your concerns with your surgeon, and possibly seek a second opinion. Good luck taking things forwards

Answer: Fat grafting #fattransfer #microfatgrafting #facialcontouring #recovery #facelifting Dear dod62The timing of a secondary facelift depends on the changes you want to make , the amount of skin laxity and technically what the surgeon thinks they can achieve. There are other options than face lifting such as fat grafting and fillers.With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD

Answer: How soon can we revise your facelift surgery?? Facelift remains the gold standard for natural appearing facial rejuvenation. Occasionally we see people who undergo a phenomenon called "stretchback" following primary facelift surgery, whereby the skin relaxes excessively during the first year or two following their surgery-and indeed if we wait for things to settle out for about 18 months-we may be compelled to re-enter the face to optimize their final result. In an ideal world-we usually would wait these 18 months to allow for complete resolution of swelling, allow the scars to settle, and the longer you wait the easier that the technical aspects of the surgery become. Most facelift patients go for 5 to 15 years of continued aging before they consider a revision, but some patient's tissues are such that they can start to excessively relax and thus benefit from an earlier re-entrance of the face to resolve this stretchback laxity that will sometimes unpredictably occur. WE all want to see fantastic results, and this is another quill in our quiver to address post facelift issues-the goal being a happy, happy patient !!
