Revision Facelift Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic

Have you undergone a facelift in the past but been left with unsatisfactory results—such as visible scars, unnatural tightness, asymmetry, or recurrent sagging? Revision facelift surgery is a highly specialized procedure designed to correct or improve the outcome of a previous facelift. Whether you're seeking to fix poor results, restore natural expression, or simply enhance the longevity of your previous lift, Korea is home to some of the world’s leading facial rejuvenation specialists.

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, our board-certified surgeons are experts in revision facelift techniques. We understand that secondary facelifts are more complex and require exceptional precision and care. With personalized surgical planning and advanced techniques, we help patients achieve refreshed, balanced, and naturally youthful results—safely and beautifully.

Why Consider Revision Facelift Surgery?

Revision facelift surgery may be right for you if you’re experiencing:

• Recurrent sagging or loose skin after an earlier facelift
• Poor incision placement or visible scarring
• Over-pulled or unnatural facial appearance
• Uneven or asymmetric results
• Facial fat loss or volume irregularities
• Desire for a touch-up years after your initial procedure

Whether the issues arose due to aging, surgical technique, or healing response, revision surgery can address them and restore your confidence.

Common Reasons for Facelift Revision

Each revision case is unique, but the most common concerns include:

1. Under-correction: The previous lift was too conservative, and sagging skin returned prematurely.
2. Over-correction: The face looks “windblown” or unnaturally tight due to excessive pulling.
3. Asymmetry: One side of the face may appear higher or fuller than the other.
4. Visible Scars or Hairline Distortion: Poor scar placement or tension may distort natural facial landmarks.
5. Fat Loss or Hollowing: A past lift may have left the face looking gaunt or lacking volume.

Revision facelift surgery not only improves these issues—it often delivers a more refined and natural result than the first surgery.

Customized Surgical Approach at Light Clinic

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we approach revision cases with a detailed understanding of facial anatomy, scar tissue, and prior surgical effects. Our techniques are tailored to each patient’s unique situation and goals.

Surgical Techniques May Include:

• SMAS Revision: Re-tightening or re-positioning the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer for longer-lasting lift and natural movement.
• Scar Revision and Relocation: Adjusting or hiding visible scars and restoring natural hairline contours.
• Volume Restoration: Using fat grafting or dermal fillers to restore facial fullness and correct hollow areas.
• Neck and Jawline Refinement: Addressing jowls, platysmal banding, or neck laxity for comprehensive rejuvenation.

We also take extra precautions to preserve facial nerves and minimize trauma to previously operated tissues.

Consultation and Planning

Successful revision facelift surgery starts with a thorough and honest consultation. At our Seoul clinic, we assess your facial structure, surgical history, and expectations to design a plan that is safe, effective, and realistic.

During your consultation, we will:

• Review past surgery records and photos (if available)
• Examine scar tissue, skin quality, and current anatomy
• Discuss your concerns and aesthetic goals in detail
• Explain surgical options and whether one-stage or staged correction is appropriate
• Provide a personalized treatment plan, timeline, and recovery guide

We prioritize open communication and shared decision-making to ensure you feel confident in every step of the process.

The Procedure: What to Expect

Revision facelift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and may take 3 to 5 hours, depending on the complexity of the case. Most procedures are outpatient-based, though overnight stays may be recommended in some cases.

Surgical Overview:

1. Anesthesia: General anesthesia is used for patient comfort.
2. Incision Placement: Carefully planned to avoid or improve upon previous incision lines, usually around the ears, hairline, and possibly under the chin.
3. Tissue Adjustment: The SMAS layer and skin are repositioned, excess tissue is removed, and volume is restored where needed.
4. Closure: Sutures are placed with care to reduce scarring and tension. A dressing or compression band may be applied post-op.

Depending on the case, your revision facelift may also include complementary procedures such as eyelid surgery, brow lift, or fat grafting.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery after a revision facelift may take slightly longer than a primary facelift, as scar tissue and re-operated areas need more time to heal. That said, most patients experience a smooth and well-managed recovery.

Recovery Timeline:

• Days 1–7: Swelling and bruising are common; cold compresses and rest are advised.
• Week 1: Sutures are removed, and patients can resume light activities.
• Weeks 2–3: Swelling subsides significantly; many return to work or social life.
• Months 1–3: Continued refinement of facial contours and natural expression.

We provide full aftercare guidance and schedule regular follow-ups to monitor healing and ensure your satisfaction.
