Introduction
At Dr. Benjamin Paul Facial Plastic & Hair Restoration in New York City, we recognize that the effects of aging and previous surgery may necessitate additional rejuvenation over time. A secondary facelift is designed for patients who have already undergone a facelift and wish to restore or enhance their results. Dr. Paul is a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who specializes in natural, long-lasting outcomes that help patients look refreshed and confident.
The Basics
A secondary facelift, also known as a revision facelift, is a surgical procedure performed to refine, adjust, or renew the results of a previous facelift. As the natural aging process continues, patients may notice sagging skin, muscle laxity, or changes in facial volume even after their first facelift. This procedure targets those concerns while preserving the structure and outcome of the initial surgery. Dr. Paul uses advanced surgical techniques to achieve results that look natural and in harmony with your facial features.

Benjamin Paul, MD
The first step toward a secondary facelift in New York City is scheduling a private consultation with Dr. Paul. During this appointment, he will review your medical history, assess your prior surgical results, and discuss your concerns. Together, you will create a personalized surgical plan that aligns with your aesthetic goals. This is also the time to ask questions and ensure you feel comfortable moving forward.
On the day of your secondary facelift, you will arrive at our New York City surgical facility, where you will be prepared for the procedure. General anesthesia or intravenous sedation is typically used to ensure comfort. Dr. Paul will carefully place incisions in discreet locations, often following the lines of the previous facelift, to minimize scarring. He will then reposition underlying muscles, remove excess skin, and refine the contours of your face and neck. After the surgery, you will recover in a monitored environment before being released to a caregiver.
Recovery from a secondary facelift is similar to that of a primary facelift but may vary depending on the extent of revision. Patients typically experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort during the first week, which can be managed with medication and rest. Keeping your head elevated and following Dr. Paul’s aftercare instructions will help speed up recovery. Most patients can return to light activities within 10–14 days and resume normal routines after several weeks. Full healing and final results continue to improve over a few months.

Cost
The cost of a secondary facelift in New York City varies depending on the complexity of the revision, anesthesia fees, surgical facility costs, and the surgeon’s expertise. Since every patient’s needs are unique, it’s best to schedule a consultation with Dr. Paul to receive an accurate cost estimate. We will provide a detailed breakdown of fees and discuss available financing options to make your procedure more accessible.
