Introduction
Secondary Facelift
Dr. Paul prides himself on delivering natural, long-lasting results with minimal down time.
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
What is a Secondary Facelift?
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.
What Are the Benefits of a Secondary Facelift?
Choosing a secondary facelift in New York City can offer many benefits, including:
- Smoother jawline and reduced jowls
- Tightening of sagging skin in the lower face and neck
- Improved definition in the cheeks and midface
- Correction of asymmetry or irregularities from a prior facelift
- Natural-looking, youthful appearance with long-lasting results
Patients often feel more confident and satisfied with their refreshed facial aesthetics.
Who Are the Best Candidates For a Secondary Facelift?
You may be a good candidate for a secondary facelift if you:
- Previously had a facelift, but notice new signs of aging
- Have realistic expectations about what the procedure can achieve
- Are in good general health and able to undergo surgery
- Want to improve skin laxity, sagging, or volume loss after prior surgery
- Desire refinement of your original facelift for a more balanced outcome
Dr. Paul will evaluate your individual needs to determine if this procedure is the best option for your goals.

What’s The First Step?
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.
What to Expect on the Day of Secondary Facelift Surgery
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.
Secondary Facelift Recovery
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.
