What is a Facelift?

A Facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reduce the visible signs of aging by tightening sagging skin, smoothing out deep wrinkles, and lifting facial tissues. It targets the lower two-thirds of the face, including the jawline and neck, to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance. A facelift is ideal for individuals who experience sagging skin, deep facial folds, or loss of facial volume due to aging.

Benefits of a Facelift:

  • Restores Youthful Contours: Tightens sagging skin and lifts facial tissues, providing a smoother, more youthful appearance.
  • Reduces Wrinkles and Folds: Smooths deep lines and wrinkles around the mouth, nose, and chin for a more refreshed look.
  • Long-Lasting Results: A facelift offers long-term results, often lasting 10 years or more with proper care.
  • Boosts Confidence: Achieve a rejuvenated appearance that enhances facial aesthetics and overall self-esteem.
