Surgery
Dr. Colgrove will perform the procedure in our AAAASF-accredited outpatient surgery center. The surgery involves refining areas that may have been missed or overcorrected during the initial facelift.

Dr. Colgrove will provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions to help manage any discomfort. Most patients can resume light activities within a week, with more strenuous activities possible after about four to six weeks

Revision facelift FAQs
What is the difference between a primary facelift and a revision facelift?
A primary facelift is the initial procedure performed to lift and tighten sagging facial skin, whereas a revision facelift is a secondary procedure aimed at correcting or enhancing the results of a previous facelift. Revision facelifts are typically more complex due to the need to address issues such as scarring, asymmetry, or unsatisfactory results from the first surgery.
How long after my initial facelift should I wait before considering a revision facelift?
It is generally recommended to wait at least 6 to 12 months after your initial facelift before considering a revision procedure. This waiting period allows time for your face to fully heal and for the final results of the first surgery to become apparent. During your consultation, Dr. Colgrove will advise you on the best timing based on your individual circumstances.
