Rhytidectomy is also called as facelift is a surgical procedure which tightens, lifts, and repositions drooping facial skin and facial tissues to restore a youthful appearance. Sagging skin can be reduced with this procedure. It can also reduce smooth folds of skin around the jaw line and cheeks.
Facelift or Rhytidectomy Surgery Procedure
A patient may be given general anaesthesia or intravenous sedation during surgery for comfort. Our surgeons make incisions within the hairline, behind the earlobe, and in inconspicuous areas behind the ear.
In this procedure, excess skin is removed and excised. As a result of this procedure, the skin on the face and neck is tightened, and the deep folds in the face are eliminated, creating a smooth and contoured appearance.
Sutures are used to close incisions, which dissolve or are removed after a few days. To aid healing, dressings and pressure garments are applied.

Within a week to ten days, the swelling subsides, and some of the visible stitches are removed. It is advisable to avoid going out when the scars are fresh. For a complete recovery, it takes approximately four to six months.
Q3. Are there any scars after facelift or Rhytidectomy surgery?
