What is a Face Lift?

A face lift, or rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reduce visible signs of aging in the face and neck. The procedure involves tightening underlying facial muscles, removing excess skin, and repositioning the skin for a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance. A face lift can address issues such as sagging skin, deep wrinkles, jowls, and loose neck skin, providing a long-lasting solution for a refreshed and youthful look.

How a Face Lift Works

A face lift typically involves the following steps:

  1. Anesthesia: The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation to ensure patient comfort.
  2. Incision: Incisions are strategically placed along the hairline, around the ears, and sometimes under the chin to minimize visible scarring.
  3. Tightening Muscles: The underlying facial muscles and tissues are tightened to create a firm foundation.
  4. Removing Excess Skin: Excess skin is trimmed away, and the remaining skin is repositioned smoothly over the newly contoured face and neck.
  5. Closing Incisions: The incisions are carefully closed with sutures, and bandages may be applied to reduce swelling and support healing.
