Face Lift
Face Lift
A Facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to alter the features of facial aging and restore a more youthful cheek, chin, and neck contour.
A facelift will improve the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening the underlying muscles and redraping and tightening the skin of your face and neck. There are a number of different surgical techniques and approaches available and the choice of procedure/s for a given patient depends upon the patient’s anatomy, goals and Dr. Elmaraghy’s judgment.
