What Is a Facelift?

As a person ages, the skin loses elasticity and facial muscles begin to lose tone, causing sagging and wrinkles. This situation is due to a loss of elastin and collagen, as well as thinning of the skin itself. While the aging process itself cannot be stopped, thousands of Americans seek professional plastic surgeons to help them regain a more youthful appearance.

A rhytidectomy, or facelift as it is more commonly called, is a medical procedure that may help reduce signs of aging, including lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin, by repositioning the skin and tissues of the problem areas on the face; the brow, neck, and under the eyes are usually the most affected areas.

Facelifts can also be helpful to some people who have injury or facial deformities, although a rhytidectomy is likely to be coupled with other surgical procedures in these cases.

How Is a Facelift Preformed?

A surgeon can use many techniques to perform a facelift, depending on the patient’s age, skin condition, and available methods.

Commonly, a facelift consists of a surgeon making several small incisions near various points – typically near the hairline, by the ears, and by the jawline. The tissue and skin are then repositioned and “draped” for a tighter, more youthful appearance. Sutures are usually used to tighten deep tissue, and excess fat and skin may be carefully removed.

Depending on the type of facelift, it may take patients 2-4 weeks to get back to their normal routines, with some special care needed to avoid complications.
