Second Opinion for Facelift Surgery

A second opinion is a reasonable and encouraged step before elective surgery.

When to Consider One

  • The proposed plan differs from your expectations or research
  • You feel pressured to schedule quickly
  • The quoted risks or recovery seem inconsistent with public sources
  • You are considering revision after prior facelift surgery

What to Bring

  • Prior operative reports and photos, if applicable
  • The proposed surgical plan and quote in writing
  • Your list of goals and concerns

A responsible surgeon welcomes second opinions. See How to Choose a Surgeon.
