Facelifts offer the best option to address moderate to severe sagging in the lower face and neck region. However, even facelifts do not stop the aging process. A quality facelift can make you look ten or more years younger. However, to retain the results, a revision facelift may be needed. Dr. Gary Linkov at City Facial Plastics in NYC offers exceptional results for his patients that need a revision facelift.
A revision facelift is a surgical procedure used to fix problems that occurred during the initial surgery or to restore results from an earlier procedure that have deteriorated over time.
The benefits of having a revision facelift include:
It is becoming more and more common for men and women to have 2-3 facelifts to maintain a more youthful appearance. They may begin with a “mini” facelift in their forties or early fifties. Then individuals may upgrade to a traditional facelift when more severe sagging begins to impact their face. Revision facelifts help maintain a more youthful appearance, minimizing sagging skin and retaining firmness to the face and neck. Revision facelifts can also be performed on those who are unhappy with the results of a previous facelift to achieve the look they desire.
The surgery entails making incisions in the same areas as the primary facelift and elevating and tightening the skin and underlying tissue to achieve a more young and natural-looking appearance. Further procedures, like fat grafting or skin resurfacing, may be performed to improve the results of the revision facelift. It’s crucial to remember that a revision facelift is often more challenging than an initial facelift since the surgeon must work with scar tissue and other complications from a previous treatment.
Recovery after a facelift surgery can vary depending on the extent of the procedure and individual factors. Some general expectations include:
You will start to see the initial results of your facelift within a few weeks, but it may take several months for the final results to develop fully. It’s important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions carefully to ensure a smooth and successful recovery.

I searched high and low for a doctor such as Dr. Linkov! When I came in for my consultation, he was gentle, meticulous, and he genuinely cared about my opinion and desires for my procedure. Despite being told by a different facial surgeon that I would not be a good candidate, Dr. Linkov reassured my fears. He is very respectful and I have recommended him to multiple friends. I will definitely come back again in the future for another procedure! Thank you and your team Dr Linkov!!!!
