The face lift, also called Rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic procedure that has helped many people to achieve a more youthful look without altering core appearance. The goal of a successful face lift is a natural look that still looks like you–just you a few years ago, well rested after a relaxing vacation. Today, with all the non-invasive and minimally invasive procedure options available, the face lift really only becomes necessary when there is sagging skin that other procedures cannot successful address. Another thing many people don’t realize about this procedure is that while it’s called a face lift (which seems to imply the entire face), this procedure actually is designed to target the lower half of the face with an incision hidden in the hairline and around the ear. This procedure is designed to correct sagging around the lower face, jawline and into the neck.
Sometimes people opt to combine the face lift with a brow lift or eyelid lift for a more comprehensive rejuvenation.
