What is Face & Neck Lift?
Face and Neck Lift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure aimed at rejuvenating the appearance of the face and neck by tightening sagging skin and muscles, and removing excess fat. This comprehensive procedure addresses common signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines, jowls, and loose skin, resulting in a smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking contour.
During the procedure, incisions are typically made along the hairline and around the ears, allowing the surgeon to access the underlying tissues of the face and neck. The skin is then gently lifted, and underlying muscles may be tightened to restore a more youthful facial structure. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining skin is carefully re-draped for results that blend seamlessly with the patient’s natural features.
In addition to addressing facial aging, Face and Neck Lift can also improve the appearance of the neck by reducing the appearance of sagging skin and vertical neck bands. This comprehensive approach ensures a harmonious transition between the face and neck, resulting in a more balanced and rejuvenated appearance.
Face and Neck Lift is a highly individualized procedure, tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
