What is a Facelift?
Facelift surgery, known medically as rhytidectomy, is designed to combat signs of facial aging such as sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of facial volume primarily in the mid and lower face. Dr. Yco offers a range of advanced facelift options, including the standard or traditional facelift, DEEP plane facelift, mid-facelift, and mini facelift, to address varying degrees of aging and skin laxity. These techniques enable precise adjustments tailored to each patient’s anatomy, creating a refreshed appearance that preserves natural expression while restoring youthful contours. During the procedure, Dr. Yco sculpts, lifts, and pulls back the superficial layer of skin along with underlying muscle and tissue to create long-lasting results without an overly tight appearance. He also removes excess skin to restore smoother skin and better definition in the facial contours, creating overall improvement in skin texture.
Other procedures like a neck lift to tighten loose skin on the skin, brow lift to eliminate forehead lines, or eyelid surgery to lift droopy eyelids can be combined with a facelift for full face rejuvenation and a more dramatic transformation.
