 Aging
of the face is inevitable. As the years go by, the skin
begins to loosen on the face and neck. Crow’s feet
appear at the corners of the eyes. Fine forehead lines
become creases and then, gradually, deeper folds. The
jawline softens into jowls, and beneath the chin, another
chin or vertical folds appear at the front of the neck.
Heredity, personal habits, the pull of gravity and sun
exposure contribute to the aging of the face. As the
aging population continues to increase, it is obvious
why rhytidectomy has become the third most desired facial
plastic surgical procedure.
If you’ve ever wondered how
rhytidectomy, or a face lift, as it is commonly called,
could improve your looks and possibly your self confidence,
you need to know how a face lift is performed and what
you can expect from this procedure.
