Face Lift Procedure

Rhytidectomy, a surgical procedure commonly known as a face lift, involves the removal of excess facial fat, the tightening of facial muscles, and the stretching of facial skin to approximate a smoother, firmer facial appearance. Face lifts takes place on either the face, neck, or both. Depending on the area of the face or neck where the face lifts are to take place, the surgeon will separate the skin from the fat and muscle. The fat is then removed and the skin is pulled back into place with any excess removed. A face lift can help repair some of the visible damage to skin, fat, and muscles and can restore a "younger" look. A face lift can be done alone or with nose reshaping, a forehead lift, or eyelid surgery. The operation involves making an incision in front of the ear, and extending this incision behind the ear and into the hairline. Excess skin is removed and the result is a more youthful appearance. The scars generally heal very well and are often almost unnoticeable. This operation can be done under general anesthesia, or if you prefer, under sedation utilizing local anesthesia. Most people resume most normal activity within 10-14 days.
