A face lift, or rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reduce the visible signs of aging in the face and neck. This procedure involves the removal of excess skin, tightening of underlying tissues, and repositioning of the skin to create a smoother, more youthful appearance. It addresses issues such as sagging skin, deep creases around the nose and mouth, jowls, and loose skin and fat around the neck. Modern face lifts can be customized to suit individual needs, often combined with other procedures like eyelid surgery or brow lifts for a more comprehensive rejuvenation. Recovery typically takes a few weeks, with most patients returning to normal activities within two to three weeks. The results are long-lasting, providing a refreshed and natural look that can boost confidence and self-esteem.
