Facelift or rhytidectomy, is an operation performed to reduce wrinkles and folds on the face and/or neck so as to restore youthfulness. It involves tightening of the deeper layers of the face and neck and removal of excessive skin, if any.
Fat injection may be done simultaneously to enhance volume in certain areas of the face. Correction of fine lines and wrinkles will need other non-surgical rejuvenation techniques discussed.
