Rhytidectomy (Face and Neck Lift)
A facelift is a surgical procedure that tightens facial tissues to reduce sagging skin and create a refreshed, youthful look.
What Is a Facelift?
A face and neck lift is a surgical procedure designed to improve visible signs of aging in the lower face, jawline, and neck.
Over time, skin laxity, facial volume changes, and gravity can lead to jowls, deeper folds, loose neck skin, and reduced definition along the jawline. A face and neck lift helps reposition and support the underlying facial tissues while removing excess skin for a smoother, more youthful contour.
The goal is not to create a pulled or overdone appearance, but to restore natural structure and definition. This procedure may be customized to focus on the lower face, neck, or both, and it may be combined with other treatments such as eyelid surgery, brow surgery, fat injections, or laser resurfacing for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
What a Facelift Can Improve
A facelift can reduce jowling, soften deep folds around the mouth and nose, and improve loose skin in the lower face and neck. It can also address neck contour concerns, including loose skin that contributes to the appearance of a double chin.
A facelift cannot stop aging, but it can meaningfully reset the clock. In some cases, additional procedures may be recommended to support your goals.
What Surgery Involves
Facelift surgery is performed under anesthesia. Incisions are carefully placed to allow access for tightening and repositioning tissues and addressing excess skin.
Healing occurs over the following weeks as swelling and bruising gradually improve. Your plan will include detailed aftercare instructions, including incision care, activity limits, and sun protection.
