What Is Facelift Surgery?

Facelift surgery, also called rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce signs of aging by tightening sagging skin and underlying tissues of the face and neck. This transformative surgery restores a youthful contour, smooths deep creases, and enhances facial symmetry, giving you a refreshed, natural-looking appearance.

Signs of Aging That a Facelift Can AddressA facelift can help if you notice:

Sagging cheeks, jowls, or jawline
Deep nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth)
Loose skin around the neck
Loss of facial volume or hollowing in mid-face areas
Overall tired or aged appearance

WHO is it for?

You may be a good candidate if:

You want to reduce visible signs of facial aging
You have sagging skin, jowls, or deep wrinkles
You are in good overall health and have realistic expectations
You are committed to following post-operative care instructions
