Facelift (Rhytidectomy)
| Rhytidectomy is the technical name for a facelift, surgery that can make the face look more youthful by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and tightening the skin of your face and neck. You can have a facelift by itself, or in conjunction with other procedures such as a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping. No surgery can restore the health and energy of youth. Nor can it stop the aging process. But a facelift can reduce its effects. As with other forms of cosmetic plastic surgery, you need to have a clear idea of why you want the surgery and a realistic idea of what you hope to look like after it. |
And you need to discuss these honestly with your surgeon. Improving your appearance can’t solve all the problems you must face, but it may increase your self-confidence as you deal with them.
