Main description:

A facelift or rhytidectomy is cosmetic surgery to lift up and pull back the skin to make the face look tighter and smoother. The procedure is designed to reduce flabby or sagging skin around the lower half of the face and neck.

This book is a comprehensive guide to techniques in facelift surgery.

Beginning with an overview of anatomy and physiology of the aging face and neck, the next chapter discusses preoperative evaluation and analysis.

The following sections cover different facelift techniques dependent on patient requirements and ultimate goals for the surgery.

The book concludes with discussion on potential complications and their management, and skincare rejuvenation.
