Are you unhappy with the results of your facelift surgery? Do you think it was “botched”. Or have the results of your facelift diminished to the point that you need a touch-up?
It can be disappointing to undergo surgery for facial aging and not get the results you desire. And even if you were satisfied with your original facelift, it does not stop the process of aging.
And so, you might want to consider Revision Facelift Surgery.

Do your eyes look or feel weird after blepharoplasty (cosmetic eyelid surgery)? An eyelid lift or blepharoplasty can rejuvenate your appearance. However, the eyelids are very delicate and complications from eyelid surgery are often difficult to repair. When can revision blepharoplasty be performed? How does surgery on the upper eyelids differ from surgery on the lower eyelids?
Cosmetic surgery on the eyelids is usually gratifying for the patient and the surgeon, especially on the upper eyelids. Like any procedure, there are times when blepharoplasty does not go as planned or does not yield the desired satisfaction for the patient. A botched eyelid surgery, where the surgeon has actually done something wrong, is rare but would also be an indication for revision blepharoplasty.
Of course there are patients who don’t receive the benefit they were looking for from a facelift (either because they had unreasonable expectations or the surgeon promised more than was possible) and there are patients who experience surgical complications, but a truly “botched” procedure where the surgeon did something incompetent is pretty rare. In this piece we’ll explore the different issues that might make a facelift patient unhappy including situations where the surgeon may have done too much or too little. Finally, facelifts don’t last forever so some patients may be unhappy because the beneficial effects from a facelift are starting to loosen up and disappear.
A successful rhinoplasty or nose job can provide enormous benefit to your appearance and confidence. But sometimes the outcome of a rhinoplasty is unsatisfactory. In many cases there is no real complication except that the aesthetic result is not what the patient was hoping for. It is also important to remember that even in experienced hands, the long term results of rhinoplasty are not totally predictable. Luckily, revision rhinoplasty may help you.
Do you notice excess skin in the upper eyelids so your eyelid skin is literally resting on your eyelashes!? Or do you have sagging upper eyelids so the edge of the upper lid where the lashes emerge is covering part of your pupil?
You might benefit from an upper lid lift (blepharoplasty) or you might need to raise the margin of your eyelid so you can see better, or you might need both!
