Facelift: Rhytidectomy

A facelift may help to enhance the appearance of your face by improving visible signs of aging such as:

• Sagging in the mid-face

• Deep creases below the lower eyelids

• Deep creases along the nose extending to the corner of the mouth

• Fat that has fallen or is displaced

• Loose skin and fatty deposits under the jaw and chin causing jowling and neck waddle

Many times, individuals choose to have other facial procedures done along with a facelift, including brow lifts, to correct a sagging or deeply furrowed brow, and eyelid surgery to rejuvenate aging eyes.

A facelift may be right for you if:

• You are physically healthy

• You don’t smoke

• You have a positive outlook and specific, but realistic goals for the outcome of your surgery
