Face Lift

Not long ago, a facelift was considered by many to be reserved for movie stars and celebrities. Today, a facelift, or rhytidectomy, is not just for the rich and famous. It is one of the most well accepted and most frequently performed cosmetic procedures in the United States. If you have been considering a facelift to retard the signs of aging, you should understand what a facelift can and can't do. Although the incisions made for the facelift are hidden behind your hairline, it does nothing to correct the visible signs of ageing in the upper face. A facelift provides an overall lift to the lower third of your face by tightening loose skin in the jowls, neck and jaw line, although other areas can be treated at the same time as your facelift. Most patients are delighted with their new youthful and relaxed appearance.
