About this procedure
Rebuilding, anatomically, the asymmetry, tissue irregularity or insufficient result left by a previous facelift.
Surgical approach and technique
The scar tissue and adhesions left by the earlier operation are cleared. Deep plane techniques are used to release the tension on the skin and to correct the fascial structures.
Who is it for?
Patients with a deformity after a previous facelift, or with renewed tissue descent over time, are candidates for surgery.
Recovery
Because of the tissue adhesions, healing requires careful follow-up. Swelling settles within two to three weeks.
Back to desk work: approx. 14 days. Social recovery: approx. 24 days. Depending on the scope of surgery you should plan for between 6 and 12 nights. The exact figure is confirmed in writing with your treatment plan.
The information on this page is general and does not replace medical advice. Timings and recovery vary between individuals; a definitive plan can only be made after examination.
Frequently asked questions
How long after the previous operation can it be done?
At least a year should pass after the first operation, so that tissue healing and maturation are complete.
Can earlobe deformity (pixie ear) be corrected?
Yes. In revision surgery the earlobe and the pre-auricular incision lines can be reshaped anatomically.
