A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy is a surgical procedure performed to rejuvenate the appearance of the face and address signs of aging such as sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of facial muscle tone. This procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia, as outpatient surgery. There are several types and techniques used for facelifting. Dr. Sabooree’s preference is to perform a deep plane facelift to tighten the underlying muscle as well as remove excess skin; however, the details of these procedures and techniques used are customized for each patient based on different factors and goals.

A neck lift procedure also known as a cervicoplasy is performed to address excess skin/fat in the neck and tighten the underlying muscle. This procedure can be performed by itself to address the neck; however, a facelift procedure is often performed in conjunction with a neck lift to address the head and neck as a whole unit and achieve a more youthful and refreshed look.  During your consultation, we will discuss these procedures thoroughly, and review post-operative care.
