Facelift

Facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic plastic surgery to eliminate excess facial fat. The muscles and skin are tightened to give a smooth and fresh look. The procedure can be performed on the face, neck or both.

Benefits
The best candidates for a facelift are those whose face, neck (or both) have begun to hang, but whose skin still has some elasticity. This type of cosmetic plastic surgery is more beneficial for people who have a strong and well-defined bone structure.

Technical description
Procedure - During a facelift, the surgeon will separate fat from muscle in the area where the surgery will be performed. Then, the fat is removed and the skin is placed again, taking out the leftover skin.
