Facelift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that gives the face a more youthful appearance. This procedure may reduce sagging skin and smooth out wrinkles in the cheeks and jawline.
Facelift surgery is also known as a rhytidectomy. During the facelift procedure, sagging folds of skin on the sides of the face are lifted. The tissues under the skin are altered, and excess skin is removed. This procedure gives the face a more youthful appearance.
Neck lift surgery is often performed as part of a facelift procedure, and in some cases, it may be accompanied by fat removal.
Facelift surgery does not treat damage caused by sun exposure, such as fine lines and wrinkles. However, other cosmetic procedures can be used to address the appearance or quality of the skin.
