Facelift or Rhytidectomy – Plastic Surgery

Incisions are made on both sides of the face, starting down from the hairline, upward around the earlobe and ending in the hairline behind the ear. It is done in a way to hide the scars along the face’s natural creases, and the patient can easily conceal them with hair or makeup..

The underlying muscle and connective tissue are lifted and tightened with special sutures to correct sagginess. Once done, the excess skin is trimmed and the remaining skin draped over the muscles without stretching it too much to avoid unnatural results. If needed, I will remove excess fat using liposuction. Finally, the incision is closed with sutures.
If the patient’s face looks thin and unhealthy, the face can also be restructured by injecting autologous fat – which is the patient’s own fat.
According to the patient’s condition, the facelift can be paired with other facial cosmetic procedures such as a brow lift to accomplish a harmoniously youthful facial appearance.
