What is Facelift Surgery?
Facelift surgery, or rhytidectomy, can turn back the clock on skin aging by reducing moderate to severe wrinkles, sagging skin, and volume loss in the mid-face and lower face. Expert plastic surgeon Dr. Yco offers several cutting-edge facelift techniques, including the standard facelift, DEEP plane facelift, mid-facelift, and mini facelift. These various procedures target specific areas of the face and can benefit patients of all ages, whether you want to address early signs of aging or more significant amounts of skin laxity (loose skin). Typically, the facelift surgical procedure involves the removal of excess skin, tightening of underlying facial muscles, and sculpting of deep tissues to accentuate the facial features and create smoother, firmer skin.
At Your Cosmetic Office, Dr. Yco tailors every facelift procedure to each patient’s individual features and aesthetic goals to create natural-looking results that enhance but do not change your appearance. Additional cosmetic surgery procedures like a neck lift, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), or brow lift can be combined with the facelift to achieve dramatic rejuvenation and a more youthful appearance across the entire face.
