A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce visible signs of aging by lifting and tightening the facial skin and underlying tissues. It primarily targets the lower two-thirds of the face and the neck, addressing sagging cheeks, deep lines around the mouth, jowls, and loose skin. As we age, our skin loses elasticity and firmness, and a facelift offers a long-lasting solution to restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
The procedure involves removing excess skin, tightening facial muscles, and repositioning the skin for smoother, natural-looking results. It can be performed on its own or combined with other aesthetic surgeries such as a neck lift, eyelid surgery, or brow lift for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Modern facelift techniques are designed to minimize scarring and recovery time while maximizing results tailored to each patient’s unique facial anatomy.
