Facelift in Tupelo, MS | Craig Mark MD

Understanding Facelift Surgery

A facelift, medically known as rhytidectomy, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to combat the visible signs of aging. While the procedure cannot halt the aging process, it can effectively turn back the clock by addressing loose skin, muscle laxity, and facial volume changes.

During a facelift procedure, Dr. Craig focuses on several key aspects of facial rejuvenation:

• Removing excess facial fat
