What is "rhytidectomy"?

Rhytidectomy, commonly known as a facelift, is a surgical procedure aimed at reducing wrinkles and tightening loose skin on the face and neck. It involves raising and repositioning the underlying facial tissues, as well as removing excess skin to create a smoother and more youthful appearance. Rhytidectomy is chosen by individuals wanting to improve visible signs of aging such as deep lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Recovery from a rhytidectomy typically involves swelling and bruising, and most patients can return to normal activities after a few weeks. The final results of the surgery show a firmer and more youthful facial appearance.
