What is a Face-Lift?
A face-lift, or rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging facial skin, smooth deep wrinkles, and restore youthful contours to the face and neck. It addresses aging effects caused by gravity, sun exposure, or lifestyle factors.

- Surgical Lifting & Tightening: Excess skin is removed, underlying muscles are repositioned, and remaining skin is redraped for a smooth contour.
- Closure & Dressing: Incisions are carefully closed to minimize scarring; drains or bandages may be applied.
- Recovery & Follow-Up: Post-operative care and monitoring ensure optimal healing and natural results.
