Rhytidectomy improves sagging facial skin, loose neck skin and slack jaw by removing excess fat, tightening muscles, and redraping skin. Patients desire a facelift are usually men and women over 40 years old who wants to remove the most visible signs of aging.

In a traditional facelift, an incision is made inside the ear extending up into the hairline. The incision curves around the bottom of the ear and continues behind the earlope, usually ending near the hairline on the back of the neck. Whereas there are other techniques with shorter or longer techniques. Facelifts are commonly combined with eyelid surgery.

Face lift surgery takes 2 to 3 hours and is performed under sedation, no general anesthesia is needed. The exact placement of incisions and the sequence of events depend on your facial structure and your surgeon's technique.

There isn't usually significant discomfort after surgery; if there is, it can be lessened with the pain medication prescribed by your surgeon.

Bandages, when used, are usually removed after 2-3 days. Don't be surprised at the bruised, and puffy face you see. Just keep in mind that in a few weeks you'll be looking normal.
