While a properly executed facelift procedure should last 10 to 15 years, there are four distinct categories of facelift complications that lead patients back to the clinic. In this video, Dr. Karam breaks down what actually happens when a facelift falls short. We will discuss the "undercorrected" patient who still struggles with jowling, the "partially addressed" face where a neck lift or brow lift was skipped, and the complex cases involving unnatural vectors or overfilling. Finally, we explore why having realistic expectations is crucial to achieving the best facelift results. Understanding these four categories can help you make informed decisions and achieve a beautiful, natural facelift.
