Rhytidectomy or face-lift is a surgical procedure performed to improve the visible signs of aging in the face and neck like:
- Sagging of skin
- Fat that has fallen or disappeared
- Loose skin and excess fat around the neck
Aging is a natural process which includes thinning of skin, loss of facial fat leaving behind wrinkles and saggy skin.
Other procedures might be performed to get a complete look.
What facelift surgery cannot do?
It is restorative surgery, done to improve your looks; it will not slow the aging process. The results are not permanent but the effects are expected to last 5 years.
