Facelift (Rhytidectomy)
A plastic surgery procedure for the elimination of wrinkles of the face
and neck.
A facelift can improve the visible signs of aging. It can tighten sagging facial muscles and loose neck skin, and remove excess fat to give you a more youthful appearance. Very often a facelift is done in conjunction with eyelid surgery or a forehead lift.

Your surgeon will make an incision in the hairline at the
temples and continue along the natural creases in front of the ear, around
the earlobe and along the lower scalp. Sometimes an incision is made just
under the chin to remove excess neck fat and tighten the neck muscles.
The skin is separated from the fat and muscles. The fat is removed from
around the neck and chin to improve the contour, then the muscles are
pulled back and tightened. Excess skin is removed and the incisions are
closed. Scars are hidden in the hairline and in the natural creases of
your skin. They will fade with time.
Bruising and swelling should fade over the next two to three weeks and
can be camouflaged with makeup. Any discomfort from the surgery can be
controlled with prescribed medication. You may experience temporary numbness
of the skin, but this usually resolves over time. The final results of
your facelift won't be apparent for several weeks. The puffiness you see
in the mirror will gradually disappear as skin tone returns.
