A facelift (Rhytidectomy) is a technique in cosmetic surgery that aspires to give a more
youthful look to the face. It reshapes the face by removing the extra facial skin.
Rhytidectomy can tighten sagging skin, called jowls, around the jawline. Similarly, it helps
remove excess hanging skin and fat under the chin and neck. It can even change the
appearance of the forehead, cheeks, brows, and eyelids.
Facelift surgery also has several benefits, like lowering the hang of the cheeks around the
jawline and uplifting the corners of the mouth. Because of normal age- related changes, as
you grow old, the look and shape of your face are changed. The skin becomes loose and less
elastic. The flap of skin on each side of the face is pulled back during a facelift, and the
tissues below the skin are surgically changed to get the contour of the face to a younger
look. Before the flap is stitched closed, excess skin is removed. Fat in the face and neck may
be carved, removed or redistributed. Face surgery usually takes 2-4 hours.
The type of incision will depend upon the patient’s preferences and the techniques: A
facelift incision – An incision might be made under your chin to improve the look of your
neck. It may start at your temples in the hairline, continue around the front of the ears and
ends behind your ears in the lower scalp.
A limited incision – A limited incision does not extend into the lower scalp. It begins in your hairline just above the ear and wraps around the front of your ear.
Neck-Lift incision – A small incision is made under your chin. It starts in front of your earlobe and continues around your ear into your lower scalp.
