What is Revision Facelift?
Revision facelift is an operation performed to reorganize facial tissues and address current aesthetic problems following primary facelift surgery. Also known as secondary facelift, this operation may be necessary in various situations.
When is Revision Facelift Performed?
Revision facelift surgery can be performed in the following cases:
- Deformations developed due to excessive tightness of the skin after surgery.
- Unnatural appearance of the face due to the direction of tissue tension.
- Aesthetic problems neglected or not adequately addressed due to inadequate planning of the primary operation.
- Scar tissues developed after primary surgery.
- Asymmetries developed around the face and neck after surgery.
- Current aesthetic problems developed due to advancing age, trauma, and weight changes.
Is Revision Facelift Dangerous?
Revision facelift is generally not a dangerous operation. Like primary facelift surgery, this operation is performed under sterile conditions using advanced and modern surgical techniques. Therefore, it does not pose a different or more dangerous risk of complications compared to primary facelift surgery.
How Many Times Can Facelift Be Done?
There is no limitation on the number of times facelift surgery can be repeated. If it is understood that a revision operation is necessary according to the patient’s current needs and requests, and if the patient’s health condition is suitable for surgery, facelift surgery can be repeated.
How Long Does Revision Facelift London Take?
Revision facelift surgery can take between 2 to 4 hours depending on the scope of the surgery. Operations performed with minimal intervention naturally result in quicker outcomes, while those requiring comprehensive intervention take longer.
How is Revision Facelift London Performed?
Revision facelift requires extremely detailed planning. During the planning process, the patient’s facial features are thoroughly examined, and the reason for choosing the revision operation is determined. Then, based on the obtained data, a facelift operation that fully complies with the patient’s requests and general aesthetic criteria is planned. The operation is performed under general anesthesia, similar to primary facelift surgery. Through special advanced surgical techniques, a holistic or locally tailored intervention is performed on the facial tissues, thus addressing aesthetic issues neglected during primary facelift surgery or developed after the surgery.
What is the Recovery Process After Revision Facelift?
After revision facelift surgery, the patient is usually discharged on the day of the surgery or the following day. Before discharge, care of the surgical area is performed, and routine checks are carried out. Patients who are discharged and return home can gradually return to their daily lives approximately 3 to 5 days later. Patients can return to their social lives within 3 weeks. Swelling typically subsides completely within a few months. The recovery process after revision facelift surgery is crucial for the success of the operation. Therefore, caution should be exercised during the recovery process, and the recommendations given by the doctor should be followed.
What Should Be Considered After Revision Facelift?
After revision facelift surgery, the following should be considered:
- Avoid making facial expressions that may strain the facial structures.
- Rest and sleep in a supine position for at least one month.
- Limit sun exposure, especially during the first 4 weeks, and avoid sunbathing. If exposed to the sun, sunscreen and a hat should be used.
- Avoid swimming in the sea or pool for one month.
- Medications prescribed for the recovery process, such as antibiotics and painkillers, should be taken regularly for the recommended duration. Especially antibiotics should not be discontinued early without the doctor’s advice.
- Regular cold compresses should be applied to the face for swelling and edema. However, ice should not be applied directly to the skin.
