Can I Have a Second Facelift After My First Facelift? Debbie’s Answer at 66

Yes, and for many patients, it’s not just possible, it’s exactly what’s needed. Debbie knew this when she decided she wanted a longer lasting rejuvenation result. Her first facelift (a traditional SMAS lift) at age 60 had faded as expected, since with this technique results normally only last 5-6 years. By 66, she wanted much longer lasting rejuvenation, so set off from her home in Idaho to Newport Beach to have a consultation with Dr. Sadati.

Revision surgery is more complicated than a first facelift. There’s less room for error because of scar tissue and changed anatomy, so more depends than before on the surgeon’s skill. One of the country’s foremost experts in revision facelifts and first to describe the preservation facelift technique in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery journal, Dr. Kevin Sadati tailored a plan for Debbie involving a preservation deep plane facelift, endoscopic brow lift, lip lift and facial fat grafting.

A year on, she has bright, open eyes, a well-defined jawline and a smooth contour of her neck. There’s no sign of her previous surgery, which is why patients travel from across the country to see Dr. Kevin Sadati for revision surgery that lasts.
