What Is a Facelift?
A facelift, medically known as a rhytidectomy, addresses signs of aging such as sagging facial skin, deep folds (particularly between the nose and mouth), jowling, and loose skin around the neck. Our skilled team uses precise techniques to lift and reposition underlying tissues, smooth deep wrinkles and define the jawline — all while maintaining natural expression and proportion.
