Face lift, or a rhytidectomy, is designed to restore a more youthful appearance by removing major wrinkles and sagging skin of face by reattaching the skin & soft tissue to their normal position. It involves tightening of the facial and neck muscles as well as the removal of any excess skin. The skin begins to wrinkle and sag as a result of age, sun exposure and genetics. Children and young adults have smooth, round faces due to evenly distributed fatty tissues in facial contours. As the age advances, the skin sags and folds over the chin, jawline and neck. Not only does a facelift improve facial appearance but also lead to dramatic effect on the neck, enhancing its contour and profile.
