Facelift
A facelift, technically known as rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at creating a more youthful appearance in the face. This procedure typically involves the removal of excess facial skin, tightening of underlying tissues, and redraping the skin on the patient's face and neck. It is designed to reduce sagging or folds of skin on the cheeks and jawline and other changes in the shape of the face that occur with age.
The surgery can be combined with other procedures such as a brow lift or eyelid surgery to achieve a more comprehensive rejuvenation. Recovery from a facelift can vary but usually involves some bruising and swelling, with most people returning to normal activities within a few weeks. The results of a facelift can last for several years, making it a popular choice for individuals seeking long-term improvement in their facial appearance.
