| FACE
LIFT (RHYTIDECTOMY) |
|
| A
face lift (rhytidectomy) is a cosmetic procedure
performed for the purpose of removing excess,
or loose, sagging skin from the face and neck.
The extent of the procedure depends on what
changes are desired and what we deem to be
appropriate in each individual patient. A
face lift can be done in conjunction with
an upper and/or lower eyelid blepharoplasty
(a procedure designed to remove excess skin,
fat and wrinkling from the upper and/or lower
eyelids) as well as brow lift surgery. Judicious
liposuction to the submental and submandibular
area can also be performed as needed. In our
practice, face lifts are commonly performed
on men and women from 35-65 years of age who
are in good health. Patients undergoing this
procedure experience swelling and bruising
mostly in the cheek and neck areas and recovery
time varies from 2-4 weeks. |
