Revision Neck Lift Before And After
What is a Revision Neck Lift?
A revision neck lift is an outpatient cosmetic procedure. Similar to a neck lift, the goal of revision is to create a contoured and defined jawline, smooth and lift sagging skin, and reduce excess skin. Revision neck lifts are also called secondary neck lifts or corrective neck lifts.
One critical difference between your initial neck lift and revision neck lift is the presence of scar tissue. Your surgeon will operate on the same surgical area as your first surgery. The presence of scar tissue and previous alterations often make this surgery more complex and intricate than the original.
Reasons for Revision Neck Lift
Revision neck lifts are done for many reasons. Here are some of the most typical:
- The results of your initial procedure have faded.
- This is the most common reason for a revision. Following your initial procedure, your neck continues to age. Revision is often desired simply due to time and the natural aging process.
- Significant weight loss or gain.
- Rapid or significant weight loss can lead to excess or sagging skin, and weight gain can alter the appearance of your neck. If your results have changed with weight fluctuation, revision can be warranted.
- Wish to improve or maximize results.
- If you do not see the results or contour you had hoped for and continue to experience sagging skin and jowls, a revision can enhance the results of your initial procedure.
- Desire to correct results or complications.
- Some patients experience asymmetry, unevenness, or dissatisfaction with their first procedure. If you are unhappy with your results or initial surgeon, Dr. Schoenfeld is here to help and support you.

Revision Neck Lift Consultation Process
Before neck lift revision surgery in Washington DC, Dr. Schoenfeld will meet with you for an individualized appointment. Consultation is essential for any cosmetic procedure, and especially for revision. Dr. Schoenfeld will:
- Thoroughly examine your neck, face, skin, and underlying structures.
- Evaluate the surgical area of your initial procedure, including incisions, scar tissue, and areas where skin was removed.
- Go over details of your previous surgery and medical history.
- Discuss your goals, expectations, and reasons for seeking revision.
- Explain the revision procedure and assess what potential results can be achieved with revision.
- Answer any questions.
The Revision Neck Lift Procedure
A revision neck lift takes two to three hours but can take longer, depending on your specific circumstances or procedure.
Local anesthetic is used to numb the area, and sedation medication is given to ensure your comfort and satisfaction. You and your surgeon will discuss which type of anesthesia is optimal for you.
Once you are comfortable, Dr. Schoenfeld uses a combination of facial plastic surgery techniques to achieve attractive results. He will repair muscle and underlying tissues as needed, trim and remove excess, plus use liposuction to reduce fat deposits and smooth certain areas. He ensures the remaining skin is tight, smooth, even, and symmetrical while minimizing incision size and visible scarring.
Results and Expectations
Your neck lift revision’s final results won’t be visible immediately! It takes several weeks to months for your revision to heal and swelling to go down. Have patience and closely follow all aftercare instructions to achieve the best possible results.
Before any procedure, you must have realistic expectations and understand that possible results may be limited. Dr. Schoenfeld will review typical results and any limitations during consultation. Before-and-after photos are taken with patient consent and are available so you can see typical results achieved by Dr. Schoendfeld.

FAQs about Revision Neck Lift
Wait a minimum of six months before pursuing a revision necklift. A year or more is optimal and may be necessary in certain circumstances. It is imperative to allow adequate time for your initial neck lift to heal, final results to be visible, and scar tissue to soften before seeking another procedure.
A skilled and experienced surgeon may be able to fix a botched neck lift. The extent of tissue damage and the degree to which underlying tissues were removed or altered may be limiting factors. A consultation with an experienced surgeon is the best option to shed light on your procedure’s potential results, expectations, or limitations.
The results of a neck lift typically last seven to twelve years and may last as long as fifteen years! Your individual neck lift results will depend on skin elasticity, personal factors, aftercare, sun exposure, and skin care regimen. Your surgeon and care team are the best resources for maximizing the longevity of your neck lift. Book your revision neck lift in Washington, DC today!
