Facelifts, rhytidectomy in medical terms, target sagging skin and wrinkles to give your face a younger look. Surgeons make small cuts near your hairline and ears, then lift and tighten underlying tissues. After repositioning everything, they remove excess skin and stitch you up.

Our faces naturally lose elasticity as we age, and skin gets looser. Fat deposits move around too. Facelifts can address these visible signs of aging, like sagging cheeks, extra skin around the jawline, deep wrinkles near your mouth and nose, and loose skin with fat deposits in the neck (if you get a neck lift).

Typically, facelifts aren't for people under 30. Ideal candidates are usually in their 40s to 60s who are bothered by noticeable aging. If wrinkles, sagging skin, and other signs disappoint you, and non-surgical treatments aren't working, a facelift might be an option.

The surgery time depends on what you want done. Mini facelifts are around 2 hours, while full facelifts can be as quick as 2.5 hours. If your procedure involves your neck, skin resurfacing, or other cosmetic work, it could take over 5 hours.

Remember, any surgery has risks like infection, scarring, numbness, swelling, bruising, bleeding, and uneven facial features.
