In a Facelift (rhytidectomy) procedure, the surgeon repositions/removes excess skin and fat and tightens the muscles in the lower half of the face (cheeks, neck and jowls). Surgical incisions are made along the hairline for lifting the entire facial skin upwards and backwards. This surgery can get rid of deep wrinkles and creases, giving you a more youthful appearance.
Full Facelift
In full facelift surgery, excess skin is removed and the underlying facial muscles are tightened. It includes the lower half of the face and the neck region.
This surgery is more invasive and suitable for people who have extensive sagging and require significant tissue adjustment.
