1. Overview
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, treats the visible signs of aging in the face and neck. As we age, the skin and soft tissues of your face lose their elasticity and as a result, gravity can start having a negative effect on your appearance. A facelift is a cosmetic surgical procedure which can effectively restore a more youthful appearance to your mid- and lower face by removing excess skin and tightening the underlying tissues.
