Facelift


A facelift (rhytidectomy) restores a youthful facial contour by removing sagging skin, smoothing deep wrinkles, and tightening underlying tissues for natural, long-lasting rejuvenation.


What is a Facelift (Rhytidectomy)?
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reduce visible signs of aging in the face and neck. It addresses facial sagging, deep creases along the nose and mouth, and loose skin or excess fat around the jawline and neck to recreate a refreshed, youthful appearance.

How Does the Procedure Work?
Incision lines are placed discreetly along the hairline, extending around the ear, and beneath the chin if neck lifting is required. The surgeon carefully separates the skin from the underlying muscle, removes excess fat, tightens the underlying facial structure, and repositions the skin before placing fine sutures. Small drainage tubes and a compression bandage may be applied to minimize swelling.

Who is a Candidate for Facelift (Rhytidectomy)?
Ideal candidates are individuals experiencing facial sagging, loss of skin elasticity, deep facial folds, or drooping skin around the jawline and neck. Candidates should be in good overall health, non-smokers (or willing to pause smoking to ensure proper healing), and have realistic expectations.

Benefits of Facelift (Rhytidectomy)

  • Restores firm, well-defined contours along the cheeks, jawline, and neck.
  • Smooths moderate to severe wrinkles and deep facial creases.
  • Delivers long-lasting, natural-looking facial rejuvenation.
  • Significantly enhances facial harmony and personal confidence.

    Post-Treatment Care and Recovery
    Initial recovery requires 2 to 3 weeks of rest, with most patients returning to regular work within 3 to 4 weeks. Sutures are typically removed between 5 and 12 days post-surgery. Mild swelling, bruising, and tightness dissipate gradually, while final visible results fully develop over 3 to 6 months.
