A facelift can be a transformative procedure, restoring youthful contours and rejuvenating your appearance. However, not every facelift yields the desired result, and facial aging is an ongoing process. Over time, some individuals may notice changes such as recurrent sagging, visible scarring, or asymmetry. Others may feel that their initial results did not meet their expectations. If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of a previous facelift, a revision facelift-performed by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon can help restore your confidence and achieve the natural, refreshed look you desire.
Rediscover Confidence with Expert Revision Surgery
At Pacific Plastic Surgery in Vancouver, Dr. Arko Demianczuk specializes in complex facelift revision procedures. With over two decades of experience in both cosmetic and reconstructive facial surgery, Dr. Demianczuk is recognized for his precision and commitment to individualized patient care in facial plastic surgery procedures. He understands the unique challenges of face lift surgery and approaches each case with a meticulous eye for detail and a deep understanding of facial muscles and facial rejuvenation.
Understanding Facelift Revision
Facelift revision is a highly personalized procedure designed to address issues that may arise after an initial facelift. Common reasons for seeking revision include persistent or excess skin, visible or widened scars, facial asymmetry, or an unnatural or “pulled” appearance in the face and neck after the traditional facelift fully recovers. In some cases, the natural aging process or changes in facial volume can diminish the effects of the original cosmetic surgery, prompting patients to seek further enhancement.
During your consultation at Pacific Plastic Surgery, Dr. Demianczuk will take the time to listen to your concerns and thoroughly evaluate your facial structure, facial skin quality, and the results of your previous surgery. He will review your surgical procedure history and discuss your aesthetic goals, ensuring a clear understanding of what you hope to achieve. This comprehensive approach allows him to develop a customized facial surgery plan that addresses your unique needs and delivers the most harmonious, natural-looking results possible.
The Revision Facelift Procedure
Revision facelift surgery is often more complex than the primary surgery, requiring advanced facial plastic surgery clinics and a nuanced understanding of previous alterations to the facial tissues. Dr. Demianczuk utilizes the latest techniques, including SMAS (Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System) manipulation, to reposition underlying muscles and sagging skin tissue for a more youthful, balanced appearance. Incisions of the secondary facelift procedure are carefully planned to minimize additional scar tissue and are typically placed along the hairline and around the ear, blending seamlessly with natural facial contours.
In some cases, Dr. Demianczuk may recommend complementary procedures such as fat grafting to restore lost volume or refine facial features. The goal with any surgical technique is always to create a result that looks refreshed and natural-not overdone. Surgery is performed in a fully accredited surgical facility, prioritizing your safety and comfort at every step.
Recovery and Results From Facelift Revision Surgery
Recovery following a revision facelift is similar to that of a primary facelift, though individual experiences may vary depending on the complexity of the procedure. Most patients can expect some swelling and bruising in the days following surgery, with significant improvement typically seen within the first week. Dr. Demianczuk and his dedicated team provide detailed post-operative instructions and are available to support you throughout your recovery and help you avoid complications like poor wound healing.
Patients are usually able to return to work and most daily activities within seven to ten days, while more strenuous activities can be resumed after several weeks. As healing progresses, incision lines fade and become increasingly discreet. The final results of your revision facelift will emerge gradually, revealing a smoother, more youthful facial contour that enhances your natural beauty.
