Do You Need a Second Facelift?

September 24, 2018

While a facelift is considered to be a permanent procedure because it creates a tauter and less lined look on the face, there are times when you may need a second facelift. This procedure is called a revision facelift, and it is a procedure that calls for a high degree of skill. That is why you will want to turn to Dr. Tavoussi at the OC Cosmetic Surgery Clinique for all of your facelift needs.

Reasons to Consider A Second Facelift

There are several instances when you may need a second facelift. The first would be when you are unhappy with the results of your original facelift. This may have happened if you did not go to a premier surgeon for your first facelift or if your facelift did not look natural or pleasing to the eye after your incisions heal. Dr. Tavoussi can correct many problems if you have experienced them with your first facelift. For example, he can get rid of highly visible incisions, dimples or dents in the face and ear deformities.

However, you may have been perfectly happy with your original facelift but are now finding that your face is beginning to sag and droop again. This is simply a natural part of the aging process and should be expected after any aesthetic procedure. While a facelift turns back the hands of time so to speak, it cannot actually stop time from continuing to make changes to your body. Most facelifts last around 10 years. Some may last even less time than this. Therefore, if you received a facelift when you were in your 50s, the chances are good that you will need a second facelift in the next decade.

Benefits of Follow-Up Cosmetic Procedure

In this case, Dr. Tavoussi will help you achieve a youthful face once again. He can often use the same incisional areas that were used with your first procedure and can ensure that they are well-hidden around your ears and by your hairline. Dr. Tavoussi focuses on the artistry of his surgical work. He ensures that your skin is not overly pulled but that it instead lies comfortably over your facial structure.

A second facelift, or revision rhytidectomy, can correct previous errors from old facelifts or can produce a newly uplifted look if it has been 10 or more years since your last facelift. Contact the OC Cosmetic Surgery Clinique to find out more details about this.
