What is a repeat facelift?
In this article, we intend to discuss repeat facelift surgery and who might need to undergo it. Human beings are constantly exposed to the force of gravity. Aging, along with the Earth’s gravitational pull, causes the tissues and muscles of the body to sag over time—something that is inevitable.
Therefore, whether a person has previously undergone facelift surgery or not, they will gradually experience sagging of facial tissues and muscles.
For this reason, cosmetic surgeons always consider the possibility of needing a secondary or revision surgery for aesthetic procedures, especially those performed on the face. Facelift surgery is no exception.
After many years have passed since the initial facelift, an individual may decide to undergo another facelift or, due to dissatisfaction with the results of the first surgery, may seek to have the facelift redone by another surgeon.
A common question that arises is whether it is possible to undergo a facelift again.
Fortunately, the answer is yes. With the advancement of technology and the emergence of various facelift techniques, it can be said that in most facelift methods ,whether temporary or permanent, it is possible to repeat or perform the facelift again.

How many years after a facelift can a repeat facelift be done?
If individuals are dissatisfied with the results of their facelift surgery, at least six months must pass from the time of their procedure before a revision surgery can be performed. However, individuals who are satisfied with their results and follow the necessary aftercare typically will not need a repeat facelift for about ten to fifteen years.
Who is a candidate for a repeat facelift
Sometimes an individual may have used temporary methods such as thread lift, HIFU, Botox, and similar treatments for facial lifting at a younger age. However, as previously mentioned, with increasing age and the progression of tissue sagging, temporary methods are no longer able to correct severe sagging. In such cases, the person will need to use more invasive methods, such as facelift surgery, to address facial laxity.
Therefore, it can be said that individuals who previously used temporary lifting methods at a younger age and now wish to undergo surgical lifting are suitable candidates, and there is no restriction preventing them from having the surgery.

Sometimes, in certain individuals, due to purely genetic reasons, sagging appears in specific areas of the face at a young age. For example, there may be sagging in the eyebrow or forehead area. These individuals can undergo a partial facelift technique ,such as an endoscopic lift, at a young age to rejuvenate only the area that needs lifting. Then, after several years, when signs of aging appear in the lower part of the face, they may choose to undergo a full face and neck lift. In such cases as well, there is no obstacle to performing another facelift.
As mentioned, over time and under the influence of gravity, even someone who has already had a facelift may decide to undergo this surgery again. There is no limitation for these individuals to have a repeat facelift.

In the end, there may also be individuals who, not long after their facelift surgery, are dissatisfied with the results and wish to undergo another facelift with a different surgeon. These individuals can also repeat the facelift procedure by choosing alternative lifting techniques. However, in such situations, it is recommended that the candidate clearly and transparently communicate their expectations and needs with an experienced and highly skilled surgeon to achieve a satisfying outcome after the revision facelift.
