Facelift Information in Palm Beach Gardens, FL
A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to address changes in facial structure that occur gradually over time. Many individuals explore this option when they want a more defined facial contour or wish to understand the surgical approaches available for the lower face and neck.
This page provides an overview of how the procedure works, what it involves, and what to expect during the consultation process.
Understanding the Facelift Procedure
A facelift focuses on the lower portion of the face and neck. During the procedure, underlying tissues are repositioned, and the facial framework is supported to create a more defined contour. The goal is to enhance facial structure while maintaining a natural appearance.
A facelift does not address the upper face or eyelid region. If those areas are of interest, additional procedures may be discussed during your consultation.
