Face-lift

Overview

As a person grows older, the tissues and skin gradually tend to lose their flexibility, resulting in wrinkles and saggy skin. A facelift, which can sometimes be referred to as rhytidectomy, is thus a procedure to tighten and lift the facial tissues and skin. 

In addition, the facelift procedure entails eliminating extra skin and smoothing out the wrinkles or creases. Although this surgery does not incorporate eye or brow lift, it may be performed simultaneously in some patients. 

You should, however, note that a facelift will not reduce fine creases in the skin, nor will it reverse sun damage. Other plastic procedures can improve the skin's look or quality.
