Facelift surgery, also referred to as rhytidectomy or rhytidoplasty, is the surgical procedure designed to reduce wrinkling and sagging skin of the face and neckThis can be done by redraping the skin of the face and neck, removing excess fat, and/or tightening the underlying muscles. Facelifts can be performed in conjunction with other procedures to further resolve the effects of aging, including forehead lifts, rhinoplasty, or eyelid surgery.

Procedures and techniques will vary greatly among surgeons and from patient to patient, however on the whole you can expect the following:facelift procedures typically last between two and four hours, though more extensive procedures may take longer and multiple procedures may require two separate sessions. The surgery can be performed in a hospital, surgical center, or office. Outpatient procedures are more common and typically involve some combination of local anesthesia, mild sedative, and/or mild intravenous anesthesia, though inpatient procedure requiring a night or more in the hospital may be required, particularly when using general anesthesia or with patients with conditions requiring extra post-operative care.

Incisions are typically situated within the hairline and passing in front of and behind the ears. Sagging muscles may be tightened and fatty deposits removed before the skin is lifted up, the excess removed, and then sutured into place. Following surgery, the entire area where the incisions have been made is typically protected with a dressing. This usually includes a loose wrapping around the head which can minimize swelling and bruising. In order to drain any blood that can form and collect, a small tube may be temporarily placed beneath the skin behind the ear.
