Our faces are greatly impacted throughout our lives by the natural aging process and sometimes don’t reflect our youthful spirt and energy levels. Sun exposure, health,and genetics also play a major part in our facial aesthetic. A facelift, also called Rhytidectomy, can consist of small or lager surgical procedures depending on the desired outcome. It is performed by a surgeon making various incisions around the face line; generally near the ears, hair line, and chin; to lift and tighten the face removing wrinkles and sagging skin to bring back those youthful contours.

Reasons people might desire a facelift:

• If they have sagging and excess skin
• If non-surgical procedures won’t achieve the desired outcome
• To improve a personally desired facial aesthetic
