Facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a very commonly performed facial plastic surgery procedure.
With aging, the skin, muscle, and fat pads in the face gradually descend. Facelifts can remove or reposition this excess fat, and remove the excess skin for a better contour around the jaw and neckline. In the past, many facelifts have been overdone with too much tension on the facial skin, resulting in a “windswept” look. Our procedure hides incisions, and minimizes risks while giving you an unbelievable natural looking improvement in your appearance. This newer technique repositions the deeper tissues in the face allowing a tension free closure on the skin, and a better, longer lasting result. The incisions are typically hidden around the ear, in the hairline, and under the chin. Liposuction is frequently done at the same time to further improve the appearance of your neckline

A facelift is typically performed under sedation or a general anesthetic in an outpatient surgery center. You may need to spend a night in the hospital for monitoring after the procedure. You should expect to feel well within the first two to three days after surgery. However, because of the postoperative bruising and swelling you will want to be able to have two weeks of recovery time available.
