Rhitidectomy of Facelift Surgery

Facelift is a surgical procedure that can help diminish facial lines, reduce visible signs of aging and generally improve the facial appearance. It could also help reverse noticeable signs of stress, time and other environment factors.

With age, skin losses tone and elasticity, the area around the cheeks tends to droop giving a tired appearance. Facelift surgery restores to a fresher and youthful face, eyebrows and neck.

Best candidates for this procedure are patients in excellent health that show excess skin in the areas of eyebrows, cheeks and neck; preferably non-smoking men and women between 35 to 75 years old.

Recovery can vary between 1 to a couple of weeks, depending on the surgical technique. Most patients are able to return to work 10 days post-op. There will be swelling and discoloration for about 2 weeks. Stitches are removed 1 to 2 weeks after surgery.
