A revision facelift is a delicate and highly specialized surgical procedure performed to correct or improve upon the results of a previous facelift. Patients often seek this secondary facelift when they are dissatisfied with the aesthetic outcome, dealing with complications, or feel their initial surgery provided an unnatural or incomplete result.
At PROFILES Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, a revision facelift is planned with the full story of your face in mind: what was done before, how your tissues healed, and what bothers you most today. Drs. Litner and Solieman carefully study prior incisions, underlying support structures, and volume changes to design your revision facelift surgery that restores balance while keeping your features recognizably your own.
Revision facelift surgery is significantly more complex than a primary procedure. A surgeon must navigate a facial landscape that has been fundamentally altered. This includes working with:
This procedure demands a sophisticated understanding of facial anatomy and surgical techniques far beyond that of a standard facelift. It is a procedure of artistry and exacting technical precision, focusing on nuance and correction without creating an “over-done” or “operated” look.
Patients seeking a Beverly Hills revision facelift often come to us with similar, valid concerns. Our first step is to establish a clear and realistic goal for their surgery. While no procedure can stop the aging process, a well-executed facelift is like resetting their facial ‘clock’ by five to ten years.
Our advanced expertise allows us to skillfully address the comprehensive range of issues that prevented them from achieving this natural, refreshed result the first time, including:
A revision facelift leaves no room for error. Drs. Solieman and Litner are double board-certified facial plastic surgeons whose careers are dedicated exclusively to the face and neck. This singular focus provides them with an unparalleled depth of experience in the complex anatomy they navigate daily. They are not general plastic surgeons; they are facial specialists.
They understand that this surgery is not just about technique, but about restoring a patient’s trust and confidence. Their philosophy is rooted in this responsibility, combining surgical artistry with a deep empathy for the patient’s journey. They specialize in the advanced deep-plane techniques often necessary to properly release and reposition tissue burdened by scar tissue, achieving natural, lasting results that others may not deem possible.
We believe our results speak for themselves. We invite you to view our gallery of revision facelift patients to see the natural, restorative transformations performed by Drs. Solieman and Litner.
As experts in facial plastic surgery with many years of experience behind them, Drs. Solieman and Litner can adapt a number of facelift techniques to suit your needs. Many of the principles they employ in their signature PROFILES Hybrid Facelift are used in their revision facelifts as well, such as adding volume to the cheeks, using natural fat transfers to restore natural contours, and lifting both the skin and deeper tissue in the cheeks and neck.
When combined with the doctors’ unique lower eyelid lift (blepharoplasty), revision facelift can restore the natural fullness and youthfulness of the face, just as though this was your first facelift procedure.* Drs. Solieman and Litner are world-renowned for their expertise in covering or hiding the scars attained in previous procedures. Very often our surgeons carefully use the same incision spots as before, or they successfully create new incisions in such a way that the old ones are covered. In other words, Drs. Solieman and Litner do their utmost to keep any new marks on your skin to an absolute bare minimum.
Correcting previous surgeries is complex and delicate, and only the most experienced doctors should be trusted. With their many years of experience in not only performing revisions but also innovating some of the newest techniques in the field, Drs. Solieman and Litner are unsurpassed in their ability to meet your exact needs. More than any other doctor team in the Los Angeles area, our experts at PROFILES Beverly Hills can repair your past procedures and erase all traces of them, leaving you looking and feeling better than ever before.
Recovery from a revision facelift surgery requires patience, as it is often slightly longer than a primary procedure. Most patients feel comfortable returning to public and social activities within two to three weeks. However, the complete healing process occurs over several months as residual swelling fully resolves and your new, refined contours settle beautifully.
Dr. Solieman and Dr. Litner will provide a personalized recovery plan. To ensure optimal results, you must avoid all strenuous activity and heavy lifting for four to six weeks and limit sun exposure. Sleeping with your head elevated is crucial for the first one to two weeks to help minimize swelling. Our team will guide you through every step with attentive, personal care.
Revision procedures are ideal for rhinoplasty patients who need help with maintenance or improvement after the original results have begun to fade. This is especially appropriate for patients who have had previous work done primarily in the cheek area or near the corners of the nose or mouth.
A revision facelift, like every revision surgery, is more difficult than the initial procedure. Drs. Solieman and Litner provide each patient with a full analysis of their facelift history, to determine whether or not a revision lift is best.
Some of the potential risks and temporary side-effects associated with revision facelifts include:
At Beverly Hills Profiles, we have extensive knowledge and experience performing revision facelifts in LA. We work closely with each patient to provide them with the ultimate treatment plan that will help them achieve their aesthetic goals with no complications.
If you are unhappy with the results of a previous facelift, you are not alone, and there is a solution. Contact us today to schedule your private consultation with Dr. Solieman and Dr. Litner.
We recommend waiting at least 9 to 12 months. This allows your face to heal completely and all residual swelling to subside, ensuring we are correcting the final, settled result of the previous surgery.
It is not typically more painful; post-operative discomfort is well managed with a personalized care plan. However, revision facelift surgery is inherently more complex. The risks (such as nerve injury or healing complications) are higher in general, which is precisely why choosing surgeons with specific, extensive experience in revisions is crucial to mitigating these risks.
Our core philosophy is to create exceptionally natural results. By using advanced techniques to reposition underlying structures (not just pulling skin) and meticulously hiding incisions, our goal is to restore a refreshed, un-operated appearance.
The degree of correction depends on your individual anatomy and prior surgery. During your private consultation, Drs. Solieman and Litner will provide an honest, realistic assessment of what their advanced expertise can achieve for you.
