Revision Facelift Surgery: The “Do-Over” Facelift

Learn About Revision Facelifts By Dr. Jaocno in New York City

What is a Revision Facelift?

Revision Facelift expert Dr. Andrew Jacono discusses revision face lifting techniques and procedures.

Revision facelift, or secondary facelift, corrects the results of a poor previous facelift. It aims to resolve issues that were not addressed during the initial surgery, such as jowling and sagging. Dr. Jacono specializes in corrective facelift surgery and has developed techniques for revision patients.

Patients who consult Dr. Jacono for a secondary facelift have different needs from those who have not previously had surgery. Revision facelifts, therefore, require specialized care. Dr. Jacono uses a customized approach that considers each patient’s individual needs and desires.

Why Do Some Facelifts Fail?

Facelifts usually fail because of a surgeon’s lack of expertise. 90% of facial plastic surgeons perform superficial facelifts, which tighten the skin and do not treat supportive musculature. Surgeons may also pull facial tissue too tight, which makes patients look startled and unnatural. In other cases, surgeons undertreat the face, leaving clients with jowls, neck laxity, and drooping cheeks.

Even if the surgery goes well, the face naturally ages over time. This leads some patients to undergo a second surgery for maintenance. Other people may be satisfied with their results but complain about scars, which are almost always the result of overzealous pulling.  

Dr. Jacono has developed a groundbreaking technique called the extended deep-plane facelift. Rather than pulling the skin taut, this procedure lifts the face’s underlying musculature to a more youthful position. It also allows Dr. Jacono to fix old facelift scars by releasing tension. Dr. Jacono’s patients look naturally beautiful rather than doctored.

How Long Should a Facelift Last?

While a facelift’s results are dramatic, they are not permanent. With time, facial skin will droop again, and underlying tissue will sag. For this reason, the average facelift lasts between 10 and 15 years.

Once a facelift’s results fade, patients are welcome to have a revision procedure.

Can A Botched Facelift Be Fixed?

A botched facelift may look and feel unfixable, but it can be revised. Dr. Jacono has developed techniques specifically for secondary facelift patients, and regularly reverses jowls, scarring, and sagging midface tissue.

How Long After a Facelift Can You Have a Revision?

For patients who want a secondary facelift, it is best to wait at least 12 months after the initial surgery. It takes about a year for skin, muscle, and other tissue to heal before the face can endure another operation.

Why Choose Dr. Jacono?

Dr. Jacono is a dual board-certified facial plastic surgeon with extensive training in revision facelift surgery. He is uniquely qualified to deliver the most natural facelift results possible and uses innovative techniques.

Mission Statement

Doctor Jacono’s desire to become a facial plastic surgeon was solidified in grade school. There was a girl on his school bus route who was born with a cleft lip and palate deformity. Unfortunately, whenever she spoke, air and words escaped through her nose. Kids teased her and were cruel, and nobody would sit next to her on the bus, so he decided to sit with her. One day, the girl had plastic surgery and returned to school with her face repaired. Suddenly, classmates saw her face instead of her deformity and immediately treated her normally. It was at that moment that Doctor Jacono knew he wanted to fix people’s faces and change their lives. This is why he has gone on over twenty plastic surgery missions to poor countries around the world and provided free cleft lip and surgery for birth defects to over 500 children.

Because of this experience in his childhood, Doctor Jacono understands that one of our basic needs as human beings is to feel confident about our appearance. It’s is Doctor Jacono’s passion to help his patients achieve their facial aesthetic goals, creating natural appearing results to either enhance their beauty and proportion or rejuvenate their aging appearance. He is a world-renowned leader in the field of facial plastic surgery and only performs surgery on the face, not the body. He has innovated many facelift, eyelid lift, and rhinoplasty surgical techniques, publishing in leading peer reviewed literature and lecturing at plastic surgery conferences all over the world. He is committed to sharing what he has learned teaching surgeons from around the world.

His approach is to maintain your uniqueness and facial identity; it is still you just better. To do this he uses a customized, bespoke approach to each patient employing the most minimally invasive, innovative, and cutting-edge technology. Doctor Jacono has never performed the same procedure on any two of the thousands of patients he has treated. He is committed to providing his surgical expertise in a caring, supportive environment with a professional staff that has you as their focus and concern.
