Understanding Facelift Surgery
Facelift (Rhytidectomy) is a comprehensive surgical procedure designed to address visible signs of aging in the face and neck by lifting and tightening sagging skin, repositioning underlying facial structures, and creating smoother, more youthful contours. This transformative surgery addresses multiple age-related concerns simultaneously for dramatic yet natural-looking results.
The procedure involves creating strategically placed incisions around the ears and hairline, accessing and repositioning underlying SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer, removing excess skin while preserving natural facial expressions, and tightening supporting structures for long-lasting results.
Modern facelift techniques focus on creating natural-looking results that enhance your inherent beauty rather than creating an artificial appearance. Our surgeons utilize various approaches including deep plane facelifts, SMAS facelifts, and mini facelifts depending on individual anatomy and aging patterns.
