Understanding Facial Aging and Facelift Surgery

As individuals age, facial tissues naturally lose elasticity, resulting in sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and diminished facial definition. A facelift, or rhytidectomy, offers a comprehensive solution to counteract these age-related changes and restore a more youthful appearance.

Types of Facelift Procedures

Standard Facelift

A traditional facelift addresses multiple facial aging signs by tightening underlying muscles and removing excess skin through carefully placed incisions near the hairline and ears.

SMAS Facelift

Targeting the deeper facial tissues, an SMAS facelift provides comprehensive rejuvenation by lifting and repositioning the superficial musculoaponeurotic system layer.

Lower Facelift

Focused on the lower facial region, this technique specifically addresses jawline, jowls, and neck areas to restore definition and smooth sagging skin.
