Facelifts
A facelift (rhytidectomy) is a cosmetic surgical procedure that helps restore a firmer, more youthful look by tightening sagging skin, removing excess fat, and smoothing wrinkles on the face and neck.
How a Facelift Works
The procedure involves lifting and repositioning the skin and underlying tissues while removing excess skin and fat to restore a natural, refreshed appearance.
Signs of Aging Addressed by a Facelift
- Sagging skin on the face and neck
- Deep wrinkles and folds (e.g., smile lines, marionette lines)
- Loss of jawline definition (jowls)
- Drooping cheeks and volume loss
- Loose skin and excess fat under the chin (double chin/turkey neck)
Benefits of a Facelift
- Restores a Youthful, Natural Appearance – Eliminates sagging and wrinkles.
- Tightens Skin & Defines Facial Contours – Enhances jawline and cheekbones.
- Reduces Deep Wrinkles & Folds – Smooths out fine lines and creases.
- Long-Lasting Results – Effects can last 10+ years with proper care.

Recovery Time: Most patients return to normal activities within 2-4 weeks with full healing over a few months.
