Facelift surgery also referred to as a rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic procedure. After the procedure the face and neck of the patient will look more youthful as the signs of facial aging, including loose skin, wrinkles, and jowls along the lower face and jawline will dramatically lessen by the removal of excess skin.

Facelift can change the sagging around the midface, jawline area and neck.
