What Is a Revision Facelift?
A facelift revision is performed after one or more previous facelift procedures. You may undergo a revision facelift because you don’t like the results of the primary facelift, to reverse the results to an extent, because you’re experiencing complications from your primary facelift, or simply because you’ve developed new signs of aging after 10 years or more. The reasons to undergo a revision facelift vary from patient to patient.
However, whatever your reasons might be, you should consult a board-certified facelift surgeon for a revision facelift. A revision facelift is an extremely challenging surgery because the surgeon has to deal with overly-stretched skin, scar tissues, and other considerations that don’t exist the first time around. Dr. Lisiecki is a highly skilled facelift surgeon specializing in the latest and safest techniques and with an excellent track record with facelift revisions in NYC.

- Your earlobes have been pulled forward, or your scars are highly visible
- You are dissatisfied with the results of your primary facelift
- You have dimpling, creasing, and puckering of the skin after the facelift
- You are seeing unwanted changes in your mouth, ears, or hairline
- You have asymmetric or unnatural-looking results

What is Dr. Lisiecki’s surgical technique for a revision facelift?
Dr. Lisiecki performs facelift revisions in his state-of-the-art surgical center in Manhattan under general anesthesia. The procedure usually takes 3 to 5 hours, depending on your unique anatomy, condition, and goals. During a facelift revision in NYC, Dr. Lisiecki will use the same incisions as the primary facelift to avoid creating new scars, but some situations necessitate making new incisions. He will then lift the skin tissues to access the underlying tissues. Dr. Lisiecki repositions tissues, corrects asymmetries, tightens underlying muscles, and corrects other issues to restore the optimal aesthetic appearance.
What Can You Expect During Recovery from a Facelift Revision in NYC?
You will experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort for several days after your revision facelift surgery. The swelling should be especially pronounced after two days, but it will linger for several weeks because of the scar tissues. The sutures are usually removed 7 to 10 days after the surgery. The surgeon will provide a clear set of aftercare guidelines to ensure optimal recovery. Most patients can resume their normal activities and work within two weeks, but strenuous physical activities should be avoided for four weeks after the revision facelift in NYC.
Revision Facelift FAQs
How long do revision facelift results last?
The results of a revision facelift can last between eight and fifteen years, but your longevity depends on skin quality and lifestyle. Dr. Lisiecki focuses on deep-tissue techniques to ensure your refreshed appearance remains durable and natural-looking.
How much does a revision facelift cost in NYC?
The cost of a revision facelift in NYC varies significantly based on the complexity of the corrective work required. Because secondary surgeries demand specialized expertise, we recommend a consultation with Dr. Lisiecki to receive a personalized quote and discuss your specific aesthetic goals.
Is a facelift revision covered by insurance?
A facelift revision in NYC is an elective cosmetic procedure and is generally not covered by insurance. However, if the surgery addresses functional issues or significant scarring from a previous trauma, coverage may vary. Our NYC office can help you explore financing options to make your treatment more accessible.
How long after a facelift can you have a revision facelift?
Most surgeons recommend waiting at least six to twelve months after your initial surgery before undergoing a revision. This allows swelling to fully resolve and scar tissue to mature. Dr. Lisiecki will evaluate your tissue health to ensure your face is ready for further refinement.
Can I combine a revision facelift with other procedures?
Yes. Dr. Lisiecki frequently combines revision facelifts with complementary procedures like eyelid surgery, fat grafting, or laser skin resurfacing. This allows for a single recovery period, ensuring all areas of the face appear balanced, youthful, and naturally refreshed.
