Facelift
It's
the procedure that most people talk about when discussing cosmetic
or plastic surgery, and one of the most requested.
A facelift,
or rhytidectomy,
is generally a tightening and firming of facial and neck skin
to eliminate wrinkles and sagging. However, there are actually
several procedures that make up what most people think of
as a facelift.
These
may include a lipectomy to eliminate a double chin; an eyelid
blepharoplasty to eliminate drooping and bags under the
eyes; injections of collagen or Botox
for deep creases or frown lines in the forehead; and/or a
chemical
peel to revitilize the skin and eliminate fine lines.
