A facelift is a procedure to repair sagging, drooping, and wrinkled skin of the face and neck. It can help repair some of the visible signs of aging. fixing damage to skin, fat, and muscles can restore a "younger" look.
Purpose:
The purpose of face lift surgery, also known as facialplasty, rhytidoplasty, is to improve the appearance of the face by repositioning the skin and tightening some of the underlying muscle and tissue. The procedure is designed to counter sagging and looseness in skin and muscle tissue caused by gravity as the patient ages. Face lift surgery will not erase all facial wrinkles, as the term rhytidectomy (which literally means "surgical removal of wrinkles") might imply. Wrinkles around the mouth and eyes, for example, may benefit little from face lift surgery. Other procedures, such as blepharoplasty, chemical peel, or dermabrasion, also may be necessary.
