The natural aging process, genetic influences, exposure to sun and other factors cause the skin to wrinkle and sag as it fits the face more loosely.
Skin folds become more prominent, especially around the chin, jaw line and neck.
A rhytidectomy, or facelift, can give you a more youthful appearance by tightening facial skin and muscles and removing excess skin. When a facelift is performed, connective tissue and sagging muscles are tightened. In some cases, fat deposits are reduced from beneath the chin and neck, allowing the skin to reposition in a more ideal manner. All Rights Reserved.
