Facelift ( Rhytidectomy )
The facelift restores a more youthful, smooth appearance to the face through the removal of excess skin, and a tightening of underlying tissues and muscles. The correction of sagging cheeks and jowls gives the face a more uplifted, refreshed appearance and restores a defined contour to the jaw-line. A facelift is often performed in conjunction with a brow lift, eyelid surgery, and a neck lift.
Facial Rejuvenation Procedures
Over time, the effects of aging, sun damage, and lifestyle habits are increasingly reflected on the face. Skin elasticity begins to erode, which leads to an increase in the number and depth of wrinkles and folds that appear around the face. In addition, the facial fat that contributes to a youthful, supple appearance begins to diminish, causing the face to become more hollow and gaunt in areas such as the cheek pads, temples and lower lids.
