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.

Facelift: Who is an Ideal Candidate?

Who is an ideal candidate for a facelift? Patients who feel they have laxity of the facial skin and deeper structures may benefit from facelift surgery. This procedure definitively restores facial and jawline contour with permanent rejuvenation results!

Facelift: What is Expected with Surgery?

Facelift surgery is performed typically with a neck lift to achieve the best rejuvenation results. The incisions are well-hidden, as they are placed along skin creases and within the hairline. During surgery, the skin is first elevated. The SMAS plane is then entered via a deep plane approach, and the deeper tissues are released and lifted. The excess skin is trimmed as the last step.

What can facelift surgery treat?

What can facelift surgery treat? Several aspects of facial aging including:

Skin laxity
Facial wrinkles
Sagging cheeks
Jowling
Nasolabial folds
Marionette lines
Ill-defined jawline

Facelift Surgery: Everything You Need to Know About the Deep Plane Facelift with Dr. Tina Ho

The deep plane facelift is an advanced facelift technique that provides dramatic, long-lasting results by repositioning deeper facial tissues. Ideal candidates range from their late 30s to 60s, seeking to restore cheek volume and jawline contour. Recovery includes swelling, bruising, and ELIXIR MD™ treatments to accelerate healing, with final results visible in 6–12 months.

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.

Before and After My Deep Plane Facelift & Neck Lift Surgery with Dr. Tina Ho

My name is Kimberly. I am from Rhode Island. This is my husband, Vincent, and I wouldn’t be here today getting this facelift and neck lift surgery or had this journey if it wasn’t for him. From the time I was young, I call it the curse. My father had a double chin. My grandmother had a double chin. My aunts had one too, and they would all tease me. You know, as a young child, they’d say, “Someday you’re going to look like this.” And I did get that double chin. I never really felt confident with it. It always bothered me. I was always self-conscious about it. I didn’t feel comfortable meeting new people. I didn’t feel comfortable in myself. I didn’t feel pretty. I didn’t feel comfortable taking photos.

Patient Testimonial: Facelift & Neck Lift

This beautiful patient in her 40s came to me for surgical consultation, bothered by her aging face and neck. We pursued a deep plane facelift and deep neck lift to restore more youthful contour to her face, jawline, and neck. We are so grateful for her kind testimonial that describes her patient journey and for 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.

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

– Traci Pollock

Dr. Ho and her staff are truly the best. I have been to several other cosmetic surgeons in the area and no one compares to Dr. Ho! She is extremely generous with her time, explaining every detail and is always available for any questions you may have. Dr. Ho performed a deep plane neck lift and a revision facelift and I could not be happier with my results just six weeks out!!!! If you are considering any type of facial surgery, trust Dr. Ho. She has the talent and skill and attention to detail you deserve! Thank you, Dr. Ho, for the confidence you have given me. I am extremely grateful!!!!
