TLDR Secondary facelifts or neck lifts should focus on deep layer support rather than just tightening skin for a natural look.

The document discussed the complexities of reoperative face and neck lifts, emphasizing that the challenges and techniques for secondary procedures are largely influenced by the initial surgery. Key issues included managing incisions and scars, correcting earlobe deformities, addressing hair pattern changes, and dealing with fat irregularities and deficiencies. It also highlighted the importance of addressing fascial laxity and the cervicomental angle for aesthetic outcomes. The document concluded that the revisional procedure should be tailored to the specific problems presented by the patient, considering the variety of available facelift techniques.
