Facelift Revisions in Bellevue: Refine Your Results

with Dr. Mark Tseng at Tseng Plastic Surgery

While most facelift procedures are highly successful, there are instances where patients may feel unsatisfied with their initial results, or natural aging continues after the procedure. In such cases, a facelift revision can help refine, correct, or improve the outcomes. At Tseng Plastic Surgery in Bellevue, Dr. Mark Tseng specializes in facelift revisions, offering patients an opportunity to enhance their initial facelift results and achieve the youthful, refreshed appearance they desire.

What Is a Facelift Revision?

A facelift revision is a secondary procedure performed to correct or improve the results of a previous facelift. This surgery can address a variety of concerns, including:

• Incomplete lifting or premature sagging after the initial procedure.
• Visible scarring or asymmetry.
• A desire for a more natural appearance if the initial facelift left the face looking over-tightened or pulled.
• Ongoing signs of aging that reappear after the original facelift.

Facelift revisions can range from minor touch-ups to more extensive corrections, depending on the issues the patient wishes to address.

Common Reasons for Facelift Revisions

Patients typically seek facelift revisions for several reasons, including:

1. Residual or Recurrent Sagging: Over time, gravity and aging can cause sagging to reappear, particularly around the jawline and neck. A facelift revision can tighten these areas again for a more youthful appearance.
2. Unnatural Results: In some cases, patients may be dissatisfied with their initial facelift if it resulted in an overly tight or unnatural look. A revision can help restore a more natural facial contour.
3. Visible Scarring: If the scars from the initial surgery are noticeable or poorly placed, a revision can improve their appearance by repositioning incisions and utilizing advanced scar revision techniques.
4. Symmetry Issues: Sometimes, the first facelift can leave subtle or noticeable asymmetry in the facial features. A revision can correct these discrepancies for a more balanced and harmonious look.
5. Enhancing Longevity: For patients who are happy with their initial results but have noticed new signs of aging several years after the procedure, a facelift revision can help extend the results and maintain a youthful appearance.

What to Expect from a Facelift Revision

Dr. Tseng approaches facelift revisions with great care and attention to detail, as these procedures are often more complex than a primary facelift. Each facelift revision is tailored to the individual’s unique needs and aesthetic goals. Here’s what the process typically involves:

1. Consultation: During your consultation at Tseng Plastic Surgery in Bellevue, Dr. Tseng will review your previous surgical results and discuss your concerns. He’ll perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine the best approach for your revision, considering factors such as the condition of your skin, the underlying facial muscles, and the placement of previous incisions.
2. Surgical Procedure: The specifics of the surgery depend on the issues being addressed. Dr. Tseng will carefully plan the incision sites to either match or improve upon the original incisions, ensuring minimal additional scarring. Depending on the extent of the revision, the procedure may involve lifting and repositioning the underlying tissues, addressing asymmetry, or removing excess skin for a smoother, more youthful result.
3. Recovery: Recovery from a facelift revision is similar to a primary facelift, though it can vary depending on the extent of the procedure. Patients should expect some swelling and bruising, which typically subsides after 1-2 weeks. You’ll begin to see the full results after the swelling has fully resolved in the coming months.
