What Is A Facelift (Rhytidectomy)?

A surgical facelift, known as a rhytidectomy, can reverse signs of aging by eliminating excess fat, tightening underlying facial muscles, and repositioning the skin around the neck and face.

When conducted by a skilled plastic surgeon, a facelift can effectively address various aesthetic concerns such as facial creases and folds, prominent jowls, submental fat deposits, and drooping skin in the lower face and neck.

Our experienced board-certified plastic surgeon tailors each procedure to accommodate the individual anatomy and goals of the patient. Their objective is always to achieve a natural-looking outcome using advanced surgical techniques with your facelift in Traverse City.

Facelift (Rhytidectomy) Procedure

A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, effectively addresses prominent signs of aging by tightening deeper skin and muscle tissues, redistributing or removing specific fat deposits, and repositioning the skin on the face and neck. Through discreet incisions made around the ear and within the hairline, a proficient plastic surgeon gains access to lax fat, muscles, and soft tissues, enabling them to restore a more youthful facial contour. Subsequently, the overlying skin is meticulously smoothed and tightened. If necessary, an additional incision might be made beneath the chin to address signs of aging on the neck. Every effort is made to ensure that all incisions are discreetly placed. Facelift procedures typically last several hours and are conducted under anesthesia; IV sedation in our certified operating facility is preferred.

Following your facelift in Traverse City, it’s advisable to rest for approximately 10 to 14 days to facilitate proper healing. Many individuals discover they can return to their normal work or home routine after this timeframe. Physical exercise and strenuous activities can typically be resumed around four weeks post-operation.

Comprehensive pre- and post-surgical recovery instructions will be furnished to you by your surgeon and our team before your facelift procedure.
