Revision surgery

Failed cosmetic surgery means that the result does not meet the desired aesthetic or functional expectations and often has visible defects or complications. For patients, this can mean considerable emotional stress, shame and dissatisfaction with their appearance. They may also experience health problems or pain that affect their quality of life. Re-operation for correction may be necessary to improve both the aesthetic result and the patient’s well-being.

Revision surgery in plastic and reconstructive surgery

Revision surgery refers to a repeat operation in plastic and reconstructive surgery to improve the outcome of a previous operation, to achieve the original desired result or to treat complications. Common reasons for revision surgery are inadequate aesthetic or functional results and postoperative complications. Changes such as ageing, weight fluctuations or pregnancy can also influence the result of an operation and make a new correction necessary.

Revisions-Facelift surgery

A revision facelift corrects the results of a previous facelift that was inadequate. The aim is to correct problems that were not treated during the first operation, such as sagging cheeks and neck, mouth corner wrinkles (marionette lines) or complications such as distorted facial features and scarring. Dr. Dirk Richter specializes in corrective facelift surgery. and developed techniques for revision surgery. He runs annual international surgery courses on the treatment of failed cosmetic surgery (SOS surgery courses).

Revisions-Eyelid surgery

Eyelid correction (blepharoplasty) is intended to improve the appearance of ageing and fatigue around the eyes. However, over- or under-correction of a blepharoplasty can lead to aesthetic and/or functional problems that require a repeat operation. Common reasons for eyelid revision surgery are:

  • Retraction of the lower eyelid (ectropion): The lower eyelid is pulled downwards and changes the shape of the eye.
  • Round Eye Deformity: The outer corner of the eye (lateral canthus) was trimmed during the initial surgery, causing the eye to look and feel different.
  • Lack of eyelid closure (lagophthalmos): The eyes cannot be closed completely because too much tissue has been removed.
  • Contour irregularities after fat grafting: bumps and unevenness.
  • Hollow eye (A-frame deformity): Too much fatty tissue has been removed.
  • Eyelid lift corrections: the levator muscle is too long or has been shortened too much
