Face Lift

A face-lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure to create a younger look in the face. The procedure can reduce sagging skin. It can also help smooth folds of skin on the cheeks and jawline. A face-lift is also called a rhytidectomy.

Procedure

  • The exact technique a cosmetic surgeon uses during a facelift depends on a number of factors, including a patient’s anatomy and personal goals, the extent of the facelift (mini vs. standard), and whether or not another procedure is being performed at the same time.
  • Facelifts are typically performed using general anesthesia, although local anesthesia with sedation may be used in certain less extensive procedures.
  • After making the initial incisions, the skin is separated from the underlying connective tissue and muscles.
  • This allows the cosmetic surgeon to reposition the deeper facial tissues, get rid of the jowls and create  a firmer foundation for the skin.
  • Then, excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is gently laid back over the newly rejuvenated facial tissues, giving the face a smoother, more youthful contour without over-tightening the skin.
