Facelift (Rhytidectomy)
Signs of aging often become visible in the face due to gravity, sun exposure, daily stress, loss of skin elasticity, and weakening of facial tissues. Common changes include deep lines between the nose and mouth, sagging skin, and a less defined jawline.
A facelift, medically known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce these signs of aging. It works by removing excess fat, tightening underlying facial muscles, and repositioning the skin of the face and neck to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
A facelift can be performed as a standalone procedure or combined with other surgeries such as eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, or a forehead lift for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
