Facelift surgery, medically known as Rhytidectomy, helps prevent and reverse visible signs of ageing on the face. The surgery tightens facial tissues, repairs sagging skin and repositions facial contours. Sometimes, excess fat gets deposited in the skin, and it loses its elasticity and youthfulness, a facelift uplifts sagging skin.
A facelift can help address:

You may be a suitable candidate for facelift surgery if you:
Sagging skin
Wrinkles, folds and fine lines
Jawline is not prominent

Different facelift techniques may be recommended after careful examination of skin condition and diagnosis of treatment.
Prominent facial aging is treated by tightening deeper tissues and removing excess skin.

Facelift surgery follows a carefully structured surgical process.
General anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation is given to the patients to ensure painless treatment.

Facial tissues are lifted and repositioned to restore natural contours
Loose skin is carefully trimmed to create a smoother appearance.
The incisions are closed using fine sutures.
