rhytidectomy

Rhytidectomy, commonly known as a facelift, is a surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the face and neck. It involves tightening and lifting sagging skin, muscles, and tissues to reduce wrinkles, jowls, and loose skin caused by aging. The surgeon makes incisions, usually around the ears, to access underlying structures, then removes excess skin and repositions tissues for a smoother, more youthful appearance. The procedure can be tailored to individual needs and combined with other cosmetic treatments. Recovery varies, but most patients see significant improvement in facial contours and firmness.
