What Is a Facelift (Rhytidectomy)?
Rhytidectomy is a surgical procedure that uses advanced techniques that remove excess skin and tighten the underlying tissues to restore the natural contours of the face. This procedure addresses common concerns such as:
- Sagging skin and double chin.
- Loss of definition in the neck and jawline.
- Deep wrinkles and visible signs of aging.
The surgery can include a forehead lift to treat expression lines on the forehead and the area around the eyes, and a focus on the skin of the neck to achieve a comprehensive and natural result.
This procedure is ideal for people who want to reduce the signs of aging and regain a fresh, youthful appearance.
