What is Revision Facelift surgery?

Revision facelift surgery refers to a facelift procedure that is performed on a patient with history of prior facelift. A patient may be a candidate for revision facelift if they are seeking corrective surgery to improve a new or persistent deformity after fully healing from recent surgery or repeat surgery several years after an initial facelift for additional facial rejuvenation. Although facelift surgery delivers permanent results, the surgical results may only last for several years out and then start to fade since the face and neck continue to age over time. Revision facelift surgery is typically much more challenging compared to primary facelift given that the facial anatomy is altered with scar tissue present. The risks of bleeding and poor healing as well as needed surgical time may be higher with revision surgery.

Dr. Ho is extensively experienced in revision facelift, drawing patients from various areas of Philadelphia and the Main Line as well as from all over Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. She is available for consultation with all patients with history of previous facelift and neck lift surgery and will devote thorough evaluation and discussion with each patient to determine whether they may benefit from revision facelift.

What is Dr. Ho’s Approach to Revision Facelift?

As a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Ho specializes exclusively in aesthetic surgery of the aging face. She has dedicated training in cosmetic procedures from one of the top facial plastic and reconstructive surgery fellowship programs in the country and stays up to date in refining her knowledge and surgical techniques to provide her patients with the best surgical results. Dr. Ho is known regionally as a jawline contouring specialist and attracts patients from all over Philadelphia and the Main Line and across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and the East Coast.

Given the challenging nature of revision facelift surgery, Dr. Ho dedicates the needed time and meticulous attention to help each revision facelift patient achieve their desired surgical outcome. Her surgical technique focuses on creating beautiful, natural results through well-hidden incisions placed in the hairline and natural creases. Dr. Ho will take care to revise prominent scars and lingering earlobe deformities (e.g. pixie ear deformity) from previous surgery to maximize the surgical outcome. She is experienced in various approaches to facelift including SMAS imbrication and plication as well as deep plane approaches and will tailor her technique to the individual revision surgery patient.

Revision Facelift Before and After Vidoes

This kind 45 year-old female patient presented originally for chin liposuction consultation, bothered by the fullness under her chin. I instead recommended a definitive deep plane facelift and neck lift for the best facial and neck rejuvenation and contouring results. She already looks amazing at three months out in these before/after photos. Final outcome is seen at six to twelve months after surgery. We are so thrilled with her results.

This wonderful male patient in his 60s came to me for surgical consultation, bothered by his aging neck. We pursued a deep plane facelift and deep neck lift and are thrilled with his beautiful, natural results. This video displays his surgical outcome one year later. Male facelift patients with shorter hair can have undetectable scars if they are placed along natural creases and curves around the ears and heal favorably.

This beautiful female patient in her 50s came to me for surgical consultation, interested in facelift and neck lift for facial and neck rejuvenation as well as facial and jawline contouring. We pursued a deep plane facelift and deep neck lift where skin, fat, muscle, and gland tissue needed to be removed to achieve her surgical outcome. I am grateful for our surgeon physician relationship and we are so thrilled with her beautiful, natural results.

Dr. Tina Ho is amazing! I highly recommend her. She is thorough in her explanations of procedures and truly listens to her patients. She also works hard to build a physician-patient relationship which is rare these days!! Thanks, Dr Ho!

I received buccal fat removal as well as a mini neck lift and I am SO happy with the results. Dr. Ho made sure everything was very clear and organized, I felt very taken care of and in good hands. Now that the healing process is complete, I notice such a subtle, yet defined difference in my face. The buccal fat removal took away the “baby fat” in my cheeks that I thought I would never be able to get rid of. The mini neck lift got rid of my double chin that I was so self-conscious about. I look at photos of myself now vs. before and feel so much more confident. I’m so happy I invested in this surgery for myself. Thank you Dr. Ho!

Dr. Tina Ho has the skill and artistry that made my deep-plane face and neck lift a success. Dr. Ho and her staff are absolutely the best in the business. Dr. Ho’s skill as a surgeon is exceptional. She executed a perfect and technical surgery, and I am still grateful for her extremely thorough, generous and caring follow through, even months out. She has earned my respect and trust.

I’m so grateful to have found Dr. Ho! I’m a 47 year old female with a history of baking in the sun all through my 20’and 30’s. Once I turned 40, the beginning of a hereditary turkey neck had begun. I tried many ways to do a temporary fix, including the face tape, Botox, Morpheus, etc. This skin had lost its elasticity. I started doing a serious search for a plastic surgeon prior to Covid, and went to three different consultation stuff before I found Dr Ho. I stumbled upon her after typing “best neck plastic surgeon, Philly” lol, called and set up my consult.
After researching Dr Ho’s qualifications and meeting her and I was excited about her! The staff is so amazing, friendly and welcoming. I also loved that she’s a female! I can’t wait to watch the lift process.

I am 2 months PO from a deep plane neck and face lift. I have nothing but praise and gratitude for the care she has given me, not to mention how amazing her work is! 10 STARS

The ideal surgical patient for revision facelift is a healthy non-smoking individual who has no remarkable medical or surgical history, does not take blood-thinning medications, and demonstrates strong bony facial features, normal hyoid position, and good skin elasticity. They should demonstrate new or persistent facial deformities from recent surgery or recurrent facial aging issues years out from prior surgery and should be at minimum 6-12 months well-healed from prior surgery. Good candidates for revision facelift need to demonstrate healthy facial skin and realistic expectations regarding revision surgery goals and outcome and should be committed to long term follow-up to ensure the best surgical results.
