Facelift, also knows as rhytidectomy, literally translates to “the surgical removal of wrinkles.” As you age, your face produces less collagen causing your cheeks, neck, and jawline to sag or droop. Growing old doesn’t mean you have to look it. By removing excess fat, smoothing wrinkles, and tightening facial muscles, we are able to correct the harm that the sun, gravity and aging has had on your face.
