What is a Face Lift?

Facelift surgery, or rhytidectomy, is a procedure designed to restore a more youthful appearance by removing major wrinkles and sagging skin on the face and neck. It involves tightening of the facial and neck muscles as well as the removal of any excess skin along the neck, jowl and jaw line. The procedure will also give a lifted, more youthful appearance to the cheek or midface area.

A facelift will improve facial appearance and have a dramatic effect on the neck, enhancing its contour and profile. A facelift is frequently performed in conjunction with blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), forehead or brow lift, chin augmentation, and skin rejuvenation with chemical peel or laser resurfacing to create an overall rejuvenation of the face. The procedure can be repeated in the future, though it is rarely necessary for at least 10-15 years.
