Facelift
A modern facelift or rhytidectomy now goes beyond just tightening the skin; a surgeon can now tighten the underlying facial muscles and move, remove and sometimes even add fat to the face.
Facelifts can be done on your whole face or just on your upper face or brow area, the lower face or the neck only. There are many different types of surgery from a traditional facelift, to MACS or minimal-access cranial suspension which involve much shorter incisions or even keyhole surgery.
