Facelift
Facelift, also known as rhytidoplasty, is a surgical procedure used to rejuvenate and enhance the appearance of the face and neck. This type of surgery aims to correct visible signs of aging, such as skin laxity, the presence of wrinkles, and muscle sagging.
Procedure
During a facelift, strategic incisions are made in discreet areas of the face and scalp, allowing the surgeon to access the deeper layers of the skin and underlying tissues. Through these incisions, facial muscles are repositioned and tightened, excess skin is removed, and in some cases, liposuction is performed to enhance facial contours.
The goal of a facelift is to achieve a more youthful and firmer appearance by smoothing out wrinkles and eliminating excess skin. This procedure can be complemented with other aesthetic treatments such as eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or nose surgery (rhinoplasty) for more comprehensive results.
The recovery time after a facelift can vary, but generally, several weeks are needed for swelling and bruising to fully subside. During this period, it is recommended to follow the surgeon’s instructions regarding incision care, the use of dressings or splints, and to avoid strenuous physical activities.

It is important to note that a facelift is a personalized procedure, and results can vary from person to person. Each case is unique, and the surgeon will work closely with the patient to achieve the desired changes, taking into account facial structure and individual characteristics.
