The word rhytidectomy (facelift), Rhytidectomy Facelift, is defined as the excision of skin for the elimination of wrinkles. This definition is somewhat misleading. A facelift or rhytidectomy is a rejuvenation procedure to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sagging facial skin. Also adding volume to the face caused by the aging process. A facelift reduces the signs of aging. It cannot remove all facial wrinkles around the eyes, below the nose and around the lips.
As the “baby boomer” population grows older, rhytidectomy surgery has become the third most desired procedure in 
this age group. When deciding to have a facelift it is important you choose a board certified plastic surgeon. It is also important for you to develop a good rapport between you and the Board Certified Plastic Surgeon you choose. You should be in overall good health and have realistic expectations.
By changing how you look helps you change the way you feel about yourself. This may increase you self confidence and reduce the anxiety of growing older.
