The face is one of the most important attributes of female beauty – a symbol of attractiveness and desire. Many women are not completely happy with their face and today women who are unhappy with their face have many options which include a Repeat Face Lift.
A face lift lasts typically about 10 years. At that point another face lift is required if you want to maintain the results. Many women put off face lift surgery, fearing complications from a second procedure. A new study has revealed that women having their second face lift have a complication rate no higher than those having their first.
Patients undergoing their second face lift are typically older than those having their first face lift, addding health concerns to the prospect of the surgery. This must be taken into consideration expecially for women over 60. The good news is, as long as your surgeon takes proper care, it is just as safe for older women.
Older patients are more likely to have medical conditions that will alter the approach to surgery. High blood pressure is the most common problem. You will need a more extensive medical evaluation before surgery that you did when you were younger. Once any medical problems have been detected, adjustments can be made to compensate for them. Skin elasticity will also be taken into account as this becomes thinner and less elastic with age.

The Procedure

The second facelift surgery will be a little different from the first. Patients who have had a previous face lift will need less correction in the deeper layers of tissue because this tissue has already been corrected once.
Special consideration is given to incision placement. Older patients are more likely to experience hair loss if the incision is placed in the hairline, so extra care must be taken to prevent this problem.

If you feel you need a second face lift, you can do it now, knowing that your second face lift will be just as safe as the first. Most patients are more than happy with the end results and often repeat the process.
