Surgical Facelift: An Overview

Surgical Facelift (Rhytidectomy) A surgical facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a facial rejuvenation procedure aimed at reversing visible signs of aging in the face and neck. This technique addresses the loss of skin elasticity, deepening of facial folds, descent of soft tissues, and the accumulation of subcutaneous fat, which collectively contribute to an aged appearance. The procedure focuses on restoring youthful facial contours by repositioning and tightening the skin, subcutaneous tissues, and underlying musculature.
