When It’s Time to Revisit and Refine

Not all plastic surgery results live up to expectations. Whether due to healing complications, shifting anatomy, or unsatisfactory technique, you may find yourself considering revision surgery. At Holcomb–Kreithen Plastic Surgery & Medspa in Tampa, our surgeons specialize in revision procedures for the face, offering customized solutions that restore both form and function.

What Is Facial Revision Surgery?

Facial revision surgery is a secondary or corrective procedure designed to improve the outcome of a previous cosmetic or reconstructive surgery. Our patients often seek revision surgery for issues such as unnatural results, asymmetry, overcorrection, undercorrection, or functional concerns like impaired breathing or eyelid closure.

Common areas treated include:

Nose (secondary rhinoplasty)
Brows (uneven or overly descended brows)
Eyelids (lower lid retraction or bulging)
Chin or neck (residual fullness or laxity)
Skin (visible scarring or deformity post skin cancer surgery)
General facial asymmetry after prior procedures
