What is a Secondary Facelift?

A secondary facelift, sometimes called a revision facelift, is a surgical procedure designed to refresh the results of an initial facelift. Over time, aging skin, gravity, and natural tissue changes can lead to sagging, volume loss, and deepened wrinkles, even after prior facial rejuvenation surgery.
This procedure focuses on refining the midface, jawline, and neck area by:

  • Removing excess skin
  • Repositioning underlying tissues
  • Enhancing facial contours for a smoother, more natural look

A secondary facelift in Marina del Rey is often more complex than a primary procedure and requires a skilled plastic surgeon like Dr. Macias, who specializes in revision facial surgery.

What Are the Benefits of a Secondary Facelift?

Many patients choose this procedure to maintain or enhance their facial rejuvenation results. The benefits of a secondary facelift include:

  • Removing excess skin
  • Repositioning underlying tissues
  • Enhancing facial contours for a smoother, more natural look

Patients in the Los Angeles area often seek a secondary facelift to address changes that develop a decade or more after their original surgery.

Who Are the Best Candidates For a Secondary Facelift?

Ideal candidates for a secondary facelift in Marina del Rey are individuals who:

  • Previously underwent a facelift and are experiencing new signs of aging
  • Are in overall good health and non-smokers
  • Have realistic expectations about the outcome
  • Desire a refreshed appearance without changing their natural look
  • Are concerned with sagging in the cheeks, jowls, or neck

We recommend waiting several years after your initial surgery before considering a secondary procedure, depending on your skin elasticity and aging progression.

What is the First Step?

The first step toward a secondary facelift at Aesthetic MdR is to schedule a private consultation with Dr. Macias at our Marina del Rey office. During this appointment, we’ll review your medical history, examine the results of your previous facelift, and discuss your current goals.

Dr. Macias will develop a personalized surgical plan that accounts for existing scar tissue, changes in facial anatomy, and the techniques used in your first procedure.

This careful planning helps ensure natural-looking results and a smoother recovery process.

What to Expect on the Day of Secondary Facelift Surgery

Your secondary facelift surgery will be performed in our accredited surgical facility using general anesthesia or intravenous sedation. The surgery typically lasts several hours, depending on the complexity of the revision.

Dr. Macias will make carefully placed incisions, often along previous incision lines, to minimize visible scarring. Through these openings, he repositions and tightens underlying tissues, removes excess skin, and refines your facial contours.

After surgery, you’ll be monitored in our recovery area before being released to return home with a trusted companion.

Secondary Facelift Recovery

Recovery from a secondary facelift is similar to your initial surgery, though healing may take slightly longer due to existing scar tissue or more advanced aging.
Most patients experience:

  • Bruising and swelling for 1–2 weeks
  • Minor discomfort, managed with prescribed medication
  • Return to non-strenuous activities within 10–14 days

Keeping your head elevated, avoiding strenuous exercise, and following post-op instructions are key to optimal healing. Dr. Macias will provide personalized care guidelines and monitor your recovery during follow-up visits at our Marina del Rey office.

  • I could trust him

    Deciding to move forward with Dr. Macias was my best decision. I had considered a Deepplane Facelift for some time but had been too nervous to move forward. After consulting with multiple doctors I knew the search was over after meeting with Dr. Macias. He is a straight shooter and I knew I could trust him to achieve the natural results I had been looking for. The experience at his office was more than wonderful. They gifted me a facial and skin consultation along with my procedure as well as laser treatments to help my skin & recovery. Dr. Macias even provided my medications on the day of surgery. My recovery process was just as he explained.

  • I couldn’t be more thrilled

    I had a deep plane facelift with Dr. Macias about two months ago, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results so far. The transformation has been incredible, and every day I’m noticing more and more improvements in my appearance. What I love most is how natural the results are; I still look like myself, just refreshed and rejuvenated.
