What is a face lift (rhytidectomy)
Wrinkles can take hold in different parts of the face on different people. Some people develop deep creases between the nose and mouth, while others see the skin around their lower jaw and neck is getting weak and loose. These changes can be effectively removed by having surgery of the face and neck, more commonly known as a face lift.
By removing excess facial skin, as well as any excess fat, and then tightening the underlying muscles and tissues, a reformation of the skin on the face and neck can be achieved. This can lead to the removal or lessening of the above mentioned signs of ageing.
Face lifts can be done alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as eyelid surgery. Another option for you may be a feather face lift APTOS.

Before the planned surgery you should arrange for someone to drive you home after your surgery, and to help out for the first days if needed.
The final effects can be expected to last for five to ten years. The procedure can be repeated as needed.
