Facelift

Articles and resources for Facelift in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure aimed at reducing visible signs of aging in the face and neck. Many individuals consider this procedure to address sagging skin, deep creases, and loss of volume, which can occur due to factors like genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices. The goal is to create a more youthful appearance by tightening underlying tissues and removing excess skin.

The procedure typically involves incisions made along the hairline and around the ears, allowing the surgeon to lift and reposition the skin and underlying structures. Patients can expect the surgery to take several hours, often performed under general anesthesia. After the procedure, a recovery period is necessary, during which swelling and bruising may occur. Surgeons usually provide guidelines for post-operative care to support healing.

Facelifts can offer various benefits, including a more refreshed and rejuvenated appearance, which may enhance self-esteem. However, like any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, such as infection, scarring, and complications related to anesthesia. It’s important for individuals to weigh these factors and discuss them with a qualified medical professional when considering a facelift.
