What Is a Facelift?
A facelift, technically known as a rhytidectomy, is a comprehensive surgical procedure that rejuvenates the lower two-thirds of the face. By gently tightening underlying muscles, repositioning soft tissues, and removing excess skin, a facelift restores smoother, firmer contours and softens deep lines and folds. The result is a naturally refreshed appearance that can last 5–10 years or longer, depending on individual skin health and lifestyle.
