Facelift (rhytidectomy)


The Facelift procedure is a popular procedure for women and men alike that are seeking a more youthful appearance.

As we age, the effects of gravity, the exposure to the sun, and the stresses of daily life can be seen in our faces. Deep creases form between the nose and mouth; the jaw line tends to sag and fat deposits appear around the neck. Also, the tissues in our face including skin, fat, and muscles tend to thin out as the natural course of aging takes its tole. The facelift can’t stop the aging process. It can give you a more youthful appearance in a variable degree, improving the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of your face and neck. There are constant advances in facelift techniques that help, to a large extent, improve the results that may be obtained. A facelift can be done alone, or along with procedures such as forehead lift, eyelid surgery or nose reshaping.
