Answer: Face lift revision Revision is used for such a wide variety of reasons that it would be very difficult to give you meaningful answer. Most of the revisions after face lift are minor, done in local anesthesia with a minimal additional cost like facility fee, etc. Mayor revisions that require twilight anesthesia and extensive time are nor frequently seen in established practices. Hope this helps.

Answer: Facelift revisions Even in the best facelifts it seems that there are some imperfections. A small scar there or a little looseness here are inevitable. Minor revisions that can be done under local anesthesia are typically simple fir the surgeon. The need to redo most of the facelift is unusual and may require general anesthesia and these are much less common. We get asked all the time whether charging again, even if just anesthesia and operating room fees, is typical. I charge fir some but if I can perform the surgery with minimal expense I often do it at no cost. It really depends on the surgeon policy but can be done on a case by case basis, which is what I do.

Answer: Facelift procedures and revisions or touch ups hello,It is great that you are asking this question ! The term 'facelift' has many component parts and some components have a higher 'touch up' or 'revision' rate. So, it is somewhat hard to answer this question. But let me give you some ideas...The best thing to do is ask the surgeon's office who you consulted with to explain the 'revision' or 'touch' up policy for the procedure you were quoted for. Generally speaking most surgeons offer 'revisions' at a fractional cost of what the original surgery was. A large part of the 'revision cost' depends on whether it will require sedation or whether it could be done locally (like the dentist office).In my practice, brow lifts, lower facelifts, and mid facelifts rarely , if ever, have the need for a revision. The procedures which do at a very low rate may require a 'touch up' are Fat Transfer to face, and sometimes the Lip Lift to achieve the most ideal symmetry. Generally speaking my facial procedure revisions are all local procedures (comparable to going to the dentist) where the patient is charged a flat total rate (generally around $750 total) , and this amount is noted in our office literature in advance of the original surgery.If your revision requires IV sedation , we normally charge the regular fees for the OR and anesthesia (as these are fixed costs) , but my professional fee is discounted to $500/hr. In some instances, my professional fee is waived, if there is some unusual circumstance.Hope this helps!Ricardo L Rodriguez, MDBaltimore, Maryland
