A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that aims to create a more youthful appearance by tightening the skin and underlying tissues of the face. There are several techniques available, including traditional facelifts, mini facelifts, and non-surgical options. Each technique has its own advantages and is chosen based on the patient's needs and desired results.
Traditional facelifts involve larger incisions and provide more dramatic results, while mini facelifts are less invasive and require shorter recovery times. Patients should consult with their surgeon to determine the best approach for their individual circumstances.
