Revision Facelift
What is a revision facelift?
It can be a challenging surgery, as the surgeon will have to deal with elements such as scar tissue and overly-stretched skin. As an internationally respected plastic surgeon who is triple board-certified in Plastic Surgery, Facial Plastic Surgery, and Head and Neck Surgery, Dr. Henry Mentz is the ideal choice to perform a revision facelift.
Common reasons for a revision facelift
- The facelift was performed at least a decade ago
- The skin has been pulled too tight
- There is unsightly leftover scarring or scars were placed poorly
- Ear scars that are quite visible, or the earlobe is pulled forward (“pixie ear”)
- Unsatisfactory outcome (often residual jowling or skin laxity)
- Facelift resulted in puckering, dimpling, or creasing of the skin
- Unwanted changes to the hairline, ears, or mouth
- Asymmetrical or unnatural-looking results
- Facelift was performed with an outdated or unsatisfactory technique
Revision facelift surgical details
Dr. Mentz performs revision facelift surgery at his AAAASF-certified SurgiCentre facility in Houston under general anesthesia. The procedure takes 3 to 5 hours, depending on how much work is required to be done, and if the patient is undergoing any other procedures on the same day. In general, the same incisions that were used for the first facelift can be used, but in some cases the incisions may need to be moved if they healed badly.
