Discover Renewed Confidence with a Revision Facelift

A revision facelift is a highly specialized procedure designed for patients who have already undergone facial surgery in the past—whether to correct an unsatisfactory result or to refresh an outcome that has changed over time. Sometimes, the first surgery may not have delivered the desired look, leaving visible scars, unnatural tightness, or asymmetry. In other cases, even a successful facelift performed many years ago can lose its effect as the natural aging process continues. Whatever the reason, a revision facelift requires exceptional expertise, as operating on previously treated tissues is more complex and demands a delicate, artistic approach.

At our Newport Beach office, Dr. Sadati offers comprehensive Revision Facelift procedures tailored to each patient’s unique needs. With decades of experience and a commitment to natural results, he helps restore both appearance and confidence, giving patients the refreshed, rejuvenated look they originally hoped for—and truly deserve.

The Revision Facelift Procedure

Dr. Sadati performs the Revision Facelift under twilight sedation, ensuring you are comfortable and relaxed throughout the process. The procedure typically lasts a few hours, depending on the complexity of the case and the specific adjustments needed. The Revision Facelift procedure can vary significantly based on your unique needs. Dr. Sadati will begin by assessing the areas that need correction and marking them accordingly. 

Depending on your specific requirements, Dr. Sadati may use shorter incisions for a minor touch-up or longer ones for more extensive work. For minor adjustments, a mini lift might suffice, addressing issues like mild sagging and wrinkles. For more significant corrections, such as those involving the midface or jowls, a deep plane lift may be necessary.

This involves releasing key ligaments and repositioning deeper facial tissues. After repositioning the underlying tissues, excess skin is trimmed away to create a smoother, more youthful appearance. The incisions are carefully closed with fine sutures, and Elixir MD Laser Therapy may be applied to enhance healing and minimize scarring.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Post-treatment, you can expect some swelling and bruising, which will gradually subside over the following weeks. Dr. Sadati provides detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery, including how to care for your incisions, which activities to avoid, and what to look for during the healing process. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few weeks, but complete healing and final results may take a bit longer.

Dr. Sadati's use of Elixir MD Laser Therapy can significantly speed up the healing process, allowing you to enjoy your rejuvenated appearance sooner. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress and address any concerns you may have, ensuring you feel supported throughout your recovery journey.
