Rhytidectomy (aka Facelift)

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgery designed to rejuvenate the face, giving it a more youthful appearance. This procedure involves removing excess facial skin, tightening underlying tissues, and redraping the skin on the face and neck.

The primary goal is to reduce visible signs of aging, including sagging, deep creases around the nose and mouth, and jowls along the jawline. Additionally, a facelift can enhance the appearance of loose, hanging skin on the neck, commonly known as a "turkey neck."

• Jowls in the lower jaw.
• A loss of the fat that fills out the face.
• Sagging facial fat.
• Excess fat that collects underneath the chin (i.e., a double chin).
