What Is Facelift Surgery?
Facelift surgery, also known as rhytidectomy, is a procedure designed to address the visible effects of aging, including sagging skin, deep facial folds, and loss of muscle tone. The surgery tightens the skin and repositions the underlying tissues to rejuvenate the face, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance. This procedure can significantly enhance the contour of the jawline, neck, and cheek area, offering long-lasting results.
