What is Facelift Surgery?

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:

  • Sagging skin around the cheeks and jawline
  • Deep folds between the nose and mouth
  • Loose skin
  • Jowls and loss of facial definition
  • Skin laxity around the neck
