Wrinkles, lines, sagging in the nasolabial area, and jowls that disrupt the jawline are significant signs of aging. There are many different methods for reducing the signs of aging. The facelift, technically called the rhytidectomy, is one of the most effective options.
The rhytidectomy is a cosmetic surgery procedure that lifts and tightens the skin of the face. Tightening is achieved by making a series of incisions along the hairline in order to pull the skin back for tightening. The procedure can be combined with soft-tissue contouring as well as dermal injections for more natural-looking lifting.
Consult with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Richard A. Bartlett to discuss the rhytidectomy in further detail.
