Everything you need to know about Rhytidectomy

What is a Rhytidectomy ?

A rhytidectomy, commonly known as a facelift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at rejuvenating the face and neck by reducing the visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. During a rhytidectomy, excess skin is removed, and the underlying facial tissues are repositioned to create a more youthful and lifted appearance.

The term "rhytidectomy" is derived from the Greek words "rhytis," meaning "wrinkle," and "ectomy," meaning "excision" or "removal." The procedure is typically performed by a plastic surgeon and can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
