We offer cosmetic revision surgery, and do not offer reconstructive revision. At Forma Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. David C. Yao, MD, FACS, Dr. Vas N.

Revision facelift surgery differs from primary facelift surgery in that it must work within the context of previous surgical alterations. This includes dealing with scar tissue, altered anatomy, and changes in skin elasticity. Please note that we offer cosmetic revision surgery only—we do not perform reconstructive revisions. Surgeons must be highly skilled to revise earlier work while preserving function and aesthetics. At Forma Plastic Surgery, our surgeons take a thoughtful, meticulous approach to deliver results that appear natural—not overdone—and more closely aligned with your goals.
Ideal candidates for a Scottsdale facelift revision are healthy individuals who are:
During your consultation at Forma Plastic Surgery, your surgeon will review your medical and surgical history, assess your facial anatomy and previous incisions, and develop a customized plan to address your specific concerns.
Please note: Facelift revision is a highly specialized procedure that requires careful consideration. Not all patients are accepted. Candidacy is determined on a case-by-case basis, and a consultation is required to evaluate your candidacy.
Recovery from a facelift revision is comparable to a primary facelift, though it may vary depending on the extent of correction. Recovery varies from patient to patient. But patients should expect bruising, swelling, and mild discomfort during the first week, followed by a gradual improvement in appearance and comfort.
Recovery Timeline:
Your surgeons will guide you through a personalized aftercare plan, which may include cold compresses, incision care, sun protection, and follow-up visits to monitor your healing. With proper care, incisions are well-hidden and tend to fade significantly over time.
Revision facelift procedures are complex and require advanced surgical expertise. Scar tissue, altered anatomy, and changes in skin quality all impact planning and execution. Patients are generally advised to wait at least 12 months after their initial facelift before pursuing a revision, allowing tissues to heal and settle fully. A revision facelift can help patients enjoy a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance for many years. Maintenance options like skincare and injectables can prolong your results.
The cost of a Scottsdale facelift revision typically ranges from $15,000 to $30,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the revision, surgeon expertise, surgical time, facility fees, and whether additional procedures are performed. Revision surgeries are often more intricate than primary facelifts and may require more surgical time and precision.
