Will a second facelift fall again?
Asked 2015-01-16
I had a face lift one year ago. It looked good for 4 months then my face fell. When I went back to doctor he suggested that I have a chemical peel. I refused, now he wants to add fillers from liposuction to my lines around my mouth and cheeks. I asked to have another facelift done, but was told it would only fall again. What should I do?

A good SMAS facelift should not fall in 4 months but when the swelling comes down it will look different. A good secondary facelift may correct your issue and possible fat injections for volume replacement. Photos would be helpful but you may seek a second opinion.
Successful Secondary Facelift - A secondary facelift, if done correctly, to restore a natural youthful look using a “Lift and Fill” facelift with central compartment fat restoration and a lateral SMAS technique, you can have an excellent result. This should be done in the hands of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with expertise in facial rejuvenation.
