A facelift (also called a rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure that can typically give a more youthful appearance to the face. This type of cosmetic surgery reshapes the lower one-third of the face by removing excess facial skin.
It is designed to improve visible signs of aging in the face and neck, such as sagging in the middle of the face, deep creases below the lower eyelids and deep creases along the nose extending to the corner of the mouth.

More commonly known as “Rhytidectomy,” a facelift is a procedure done to reduce the signs of aging primarily in the face and neck. Excess fat is removed which tightens the neck muscles and reduces drooping skin.
Any healthy person who is beginning to notice the signs of aging especially in the face, is considered a candidate for a facelift.
Many patients are actually surprised with the little amount of pain they experience after surgery. Often, patients only note the difficulty in breathing through the nose for several days, which is due to the swelling. You should expect swelling for several weeks but the results should be visible afterwards.
A repeat surgery may be done after 5 or 10 years but patients must also understand that factors such as exposure to the sun, weight gain, and skin hydration may alter the results of a face lift surgery.
