Facelift Surgery in Hebron KY

Facelift (Rhytidectomy)

What is a facelift?

Facelift surgery removes and tightens excess skin. It also smooths out wrinkles and folds, reduces the look of jowls and a double chin, and improves deep facial tissues. A significant benefit of facelift surgery is that it can address so many areas of the face in one procedure. The goal of a Rhytidectomy is to restore a more youthful and vibrant appearance. It does so by lifting and firming the face. Most facelift patients look seven to ten years younger after surgery.

Good candidates for a Rhytidectomy are a person who has experienced a loss of skin elasticity and muscle tone of the face and neck from aging, gravitational and environmental factors. Patients of any age who have lost a significant amount of weight with resulting deflation and sagging of facial and neck tissue and skin will also greatly benefit from the procedure. Younger individuals may desire intervention sooner rather than later, to maintain their youthful look and put off more aggressive procedures.

RHYTIDECTOMY surgery risks

As with any surgery, there are risks involved. Possible risks include nerve damage and delayed wound healing. Smokers are required to refrain from smoking before and after the procedure to reduce the likelihood of complications
