What Is a Facelift and How Can It Revitalize My Appearance?

By Michael Sundine, MD

A facelift or a rhytidectomy is a cosmetic procedure that reverses the changes brought upon your face through aging. As you get older, your skin loses its elasticity and becomes loose. Fat deposits become uneven, giving you a more gaunt, hollow look. A facelift addresses the following issues:

• Sagging skin on your cheeks
• Jowls
• Folds near your mouth and nose

Surgery for a facelift involves the surgeon removing your excess facial skin. If needed, they will also tighten your underlying tissues and redistribute fat tissues evenly. Your skin is finally redraped over your face. To learn more about starting your facelift journey in Newport Beach visit our facelift page for more information.
