Rhytidectomy is the 5th most common form of cosmetic surgery, according to The American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Rhytidectomy is a cosmetic surgery that helps to restore sagging, loose skin to promote a more youthful appearance. A facelift can be performed three different ways: a traditional facelift, limited incision facelift, or neck lift. Many choose to have a facelift with a combination of an Eye Lift to reduce sagging skin on the upper eyelids, Botox to smooth out deep wrinkles in the forehead and around the eyes, Dermal fillers to replace fat loss in the face (generally in the cheek area), and Skin Rejuvenation and Resurfacing to even out the texture and diminish age spots and discoloration.
The recovery process for a facelift procedure will depend on each patient, however, the general rule is that you will be able to return to work in two weeks while patients generally can go home at the sam eday after the surgery. The doctor has a specific and detailed recovery plan for each patient, and it should be followed as recommended for optimal results.
