What is Face Lift
Face Lift. Known also by the technical name rhytidectomy, the facelift is a surgical procedure that rejuvenates the face. Through incisions in key places of the patient’s face, the surgeon is able to attenuate the effects of ageing.
The procedure deals mainly with skin hanging loosely from the face, mostly around below the cheeks around the jawline. It also deals with hanging folds of skin that forms creases of varying depth around the nose and mouth. In addition to that, it’s possible for a separate surgical procedure known as neck lift to happen during the same operation. Those procedures deal specifically with the loose skin and hanging folds on around the neck area.
