Are you ready to turn back the clock and get a more youthful-looking face? A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that can give your face a more youthful appearance by removing extra facial skin and reshaping the lower part of your face. In 2016, more than 107,250 women and 13,700 men underwent facelift surgery in the United States. So, it is an extremely popular surgery, and both men and women can have it. Facelift surgery divides into different types, such as full facelift, mid-facelift, and mini facelift. Your cosmetic surgeon will choose the technique or type that suits your needs.

Obviously, anesthesia administration is the initial stage in facelift surgery. Most surgeons prefer general anesthesia, but some surgeons may choose a mixture of local anesthetic and moderate sedatives.
Your surgeon makes an incision behind your ear in the hairline. The incision runs at the front of the ear and continues to the top of the ear. Also, your surgeon may make a small incision on the crease beneath the chin to target this area.
To reposition and tighten the underlying muscle and connective tissue, your surgeon pushes the skin outward and removes some fat and excess skin. They may also suture the tissues with glue to secure them in their new location.
Finally, your surgeon uses tiny sutures to seal the wounds and facilitate healing.
