Why Patients Seek Revision Facelifts
A poorly performed facelift can lead to disappointing results, making patients feel self-conscious or disheartened. Common concerns include:
- Over-Tightened Skin (Tension Deformity): Pulling the skin too tightly can create a windswept or overly stretched look.
- Incorrect Lift Direction (Vector Deformity): A lift that doesn’t follow natural facial contours can result in an unnatural appearance.
- Lack of Personalization: A one-size-fits-all approach fails to consider your unique facial structure and aging patterns.
- Uneven Results (Gross Asymmetry): Noticeable differences between the sides of the face can disrupt overall balance.
Dr. Harirchian takes a meticulous approach to facelift revision, identifying the root cause of an unsatisfactory outcome and designing a customized surgical plan to restore softness, harmony, and a naturally youthful look.
Advanced Revision Facelift Techniques
A successful revision facelift requires both technical expertise and an artistic eye. Dr. Sanaz Harirchian specializes in advanced techniques, including the modified deep plane facelift, which goes beyond simply tightening the skin. By repositioning deeper facial tissues, this approach enhances your jawline and natural contours and tightens sagging skin without the overly pulled or artificial look seen with less refined techniques.
What to Expect With a Revision Facelift
A revision facelift is an outpatient surgery performed under intravenous anesthesia. It requires a meticulous approach to reposition deep facial tissues and improve contour.
- Refined Incision Placement: Incisions follow or adjust previous facelift scars for minimal visibility.
- Deep Plane Rejuvenation: The muscle and fat layers are repositioned for a natural, balanced lift.
- Youthful Restoration & Symmetry Correction: Addresses areas that may have been over-tightened or under-treated.
- Neck Rejuvenation: If needed, platysma tightening and conservative fat removal refine the neck.
- Excess Skin Removal: Remaining skin is carefully trimmed for a smooth, youthful look.
With Dr. Harirchian’s expertise, a revision facelift corrects past concerns while enhancing your natural beauty for refreshed, lasting results.
Recovery & Results
A revision facelift requires careful healing, but Dr. Harirchian’s meticulous techniques promote a smoother recovery. Most patients can expect:
- Initial swelling and bruising, which peaks in the first week and improves significantly by week two
- Return to light activities typically within 10-14 days
- Visible improvements in one month, with final results settling over several months
Dr. Harirchian and her team provide comprehensive aftercare to support your healing journey and ensure optimal, long-lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a revision facelift different from a primary facelift?
A revision facelift is more complex, as it must correct previous surgical alterations while preserving natural tissue and minimizing additional scarring.
Will I have more scarring from a revision facelift?
Dr. Harirchian strategically places incisions in natural creases and existing scar lines to ensure minimal visibility.
How long do the results last?
With proper care, results can last 10-15 years. A healthy lifestyle and skincare regimen can extend the longevity of your refreshed look.
How soon after a facelift can I have a revision?
Waiting at least 12 months after your initial facelift is recommended to allow for full healing before considering a revision.
