Overview of the procedure:
Facelift surgery, also known as rhytidectomy, is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to reduce visible signs of aging in the face and neck. The surgery involves removing excess skin, tightening underlying muscles and connective tissues, and repositioning facial fat to restore natural contours. Facelift techniques can be customized according to individual needs, ranging from traditional full facelifts to less invasive mini-facelifts. International patients often choose facelift surgery to address concerns such as sagging jowls, deep creases, and loose neck skin. The goal is to create a natural, long-lasting result that enhances self-confidence and facial harmony.
