Facelift (Rhytidectomy) in Evans, GA

Understanding Facelift Surgery

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a sophisticated cosmetic procedure designed to enhance facial appearance by addressing signs of aging. The technique involves tightening muscles, lifting skin, and refining facial contours to produce a smoother, more youthful aesthetic.

Goals of Facelift Surgery

• Reduce facial sagging
• Eliminate excess skin
• Tighten underlying muscular structures
• Restore facial definition

Ideal Candidates for Facelift

Facelift candidates typically demonstrate visible signs of facial aging, such as:

• Pronounced skin laxity
• Deepening facial wrinkles
• Loss of facial volume

Procedure Overview

Facelift surgery is performed under general anesthesia, utilizing precise surgical techniques to lift and recontour facial tissues. The procedure involves strategic incisions along the hairline, allowing surgeons to access and modify underlying facial structures.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial recovery within 7-10 days, with complete healing occurring over several weeks. Results typically last approximately 10 years, depending on individual aging processes and lifestyle factors.

Long-Term Maintenance

• Protect skin from sun damage

Potential Risks and Considerations
