Rhytidectomy (Facelift)

A rhytidectomy, commonly known as a facelift, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce visible signs of aging in the face and neck. It tightens underlying tissues and removes excess skin to create a smoother, more youthful appearance. The procedure is performed under sedation or general anesthesia.

After Surgery

Patients can expect swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for the first few weeks. Most patients are functional within two weeks but require six weeks for full healing. Strenuous activity should be avoided until cleared by the surgeon. Follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor healing and ensure optimal cosmetic results.
