How Often Do You Need a Facelift?

06/14/2022 by DR. ANDREW JACONO

A middle aged woman smiling after her facelift

One of the things to keep in mind about facial plastic surgeries is that the effects don’t last forever. Getting a facelift is something you do once, and it lasts for about seven to ten years before your face begins to look its age again. 

This is completely normal. Aging is a normal thing, and while a facelift can do a lot to reverse the effects of aging, it can’t stop it completely. But that doesn’t mean that you have a facelift, wait seven to ten years, and then have to put up with wrinkles and saggy skin forever.

You can, in fact, have more facelifts, and there’s nothing medically wrong with that. But how many times can a plastic surgeon perform a facelift surgery?

Of course, there are things you can do to extend the life of your facelift. Avoiding smoking, staying out of the sun, and maintaining a good skin care regimen are all good things you can do to make your skin stay as youthful and vibrant as possible. The better you treat your body, the better your body will look.

But if you really want to know how often you can have a facelift, the answer is that it is definitely possible to get a second facelift, sometimes called a secondary facelift. The procedure will be different, as the surgeon is working with skin that has already been lifted. You’ll need to communicate with your surgeon exactly what you want to get out of the surgery, and Dr. Jacono will be realistic with you about your options. 

The point of a secondary facelift, however, is to maintain the natural beauty of the face and not get the overdone look that you see so often in the tabloids when the paparazzi show a celebrity who has plainly had too much work done. We want to avoid that. We want natural beauty, so we’re not going to do procedure after procedure. That said, a secondary facelift is a perfectly fine thing to have, as long as you go into it with realistic expectations. 

How Many Facelifts Can You Get?

How many facelifts can you have in a lifetime? There is no magic answer for the number of facelifts that you can have, but Dr. Jacono will always advise you to embrace your natural beauty and not rely on too much plastic surgery, which will eventually look fake and, well, plastic. Dr. Jacono is the best plastic surgeon in New York City, and he doesn’t want his patients to look anything but their best. 

The more facelift procedures you have, the more you’ll get the appearance of stretching or pulling on the skin, and soon that starts to look fake and unnatural. That’s what we’re trying to avoid. 

What Other Options Do I Have Beside Multiple Facelifts?

There are other nonsurgical procedures that board-certified surgeon Dr. Jacono can perform to give a youthful appearance without the need to undergo facelift surgery. Instead of undergoing multiple surgeries, for example, you could have dermal fillers to remove fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, and facial aging. Facial rejuvenation might be the better route.  

Need a revision or have a complicated case? Dr. Jacono is the surgeon you need.

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.
