FaceLift

What is Facelift?

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure performed at a cosmetic specialty clinic to address facial sagging and wrinkles, creating a more youthful appearance. Types of facelifts include:

Traditional Facelift (SMAS Lift): Targets the lower two-thirds of the face and neck by lifting and tightening underlying tissues.
Mini Facelift (S-Lift): Suitable for mild to moderate sagging, targeting a smaller area.
Mid-Face Lift: Focuses on the middle face, improving sagging around the cheeks and under the eyes.
Thread Lift: A non-surgical method using threads to lift and tighten facial tissues.
