What is a Facelift?
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that rejuvenates the face by addressing signs of aging. It treats sagging tissues in the jowls, cheeks, and neck by removing excess fat, tightening muscles, and re-draping the skin.
In recent years, facial rejuvenation procedures have gained popularity in Bethlehem, NY, as they offer natural results and boost self-confidence. The term “facelift” encompasses various techniques to improve the lower two-thirds of the face and neck.
