Facelift or ("Rhytidectomy")

Facelift ((rhytidectomy) surgery

If you are bothered by the signs of aging in your face, a facelift may be right for you.

Technically known as a rhytidectomy, a facelift is a surgical procedure to improve visible signs of aging in the face and neck, such as:

  • Sagging in the midface
  • Deep creases below the lower eyelids
  • Deep creases between the nose and mouth
  • Fat that has fallen or is displaced
  • Loss of muscle tone in the lower face that may create jowls
  • Loose skin and excess fatty deposits under the chin and jaw

A facelift is designed to correct these aging features, restoring a more youthful, rested appearance with uplifted contours and improved tone in facial skin and underlying muscle.

Typical incisions begin within the hairline, above the temple and continue along the ear, ending behind the ear. This allows access to tighten underlying tissue, remove excess fat and reduce sagging skin.

A second incision under the chin is sometimes necessary. If the skin tone is good and only mid-face aging or excess fat in the neck will be corrected, abbreviated techniques with shorter incisions may be used.

Swelling and bruising should subside within 2-4 weeks. Final results may be apparent in 1-2 months. Incision lines will continue to refine and fade for 1 year.

  • Is a facelift suitable for everyone?

    A facelift is best suited for individuals who are experiencing visible signs of facial aging and desire a more youthful appearance. A thorough evaluation with a qualified plastic surgeon is necessary to determine if you are a suitable candidate.

  • How is a neck lift different from a facelift?

    While a facelift primarily focuses on rejuvenating the lower face and jawline, a neck lift specifically addresses the neck area. A neck lift can be performed alone or in conjunction with a facelift for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

  • What techniques are used during a neck lift procedure?

    The specific techniques used during a neck lift may vary depending on individual needs. Common techniques include liposuction to remove excess fat, tightening of neck muscles, and excision of excess skin for a smoother, more youthful neck appearance.

    Following a neck lift, you may experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. It is important to follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions, which may include wearing a compression garment and avoiding strenuous activities for a certain period.

  • Will there be visible scarring after a neck lift?

    Incisions for a neck lift are typically discreetly placed, such as under the chin or behind the ears, to minimize visible scarring. Over time, the scars tend to fade and become less noticeable.

  • Are the results of a neck lift permanent?

    A neck lift can provide long-lasting results, but the natural aging process will continue. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and skincare routine can help prolong the outcome of the procedure.

  • Am I a suitable candidate for a neck lift?

    If you are bothered by sagging skin, excess fat, or muscle banding in the neck area and desire a more youthful and defined neck contour, a neck lift may be suitable for you. A consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon is necessary to assess your candidacy.
