Face Lift (Rhytidectomy) surgery in South Africa (full and mini)

With the ageing process, the effects of gravity, exposure to the sun, and the stresses of daily life can be seen in their faces. Sometimes and mostly creases form between the nose and mouth. The jawline grows slack and jowly. A face lift can "set back the clock," improving the most visible signs of ageing by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of your face and neck. Face lifts can be done alone, or in conjunction with other procedures, for example a forehead lift, or eyelid surgery.

The best candidate for a face lift is a man or woman whose face and neck have begun to sag, but whose skin still has some elasticity and whose bone structure is strong and well defined. Most patients are in their forties to sixties, but facelifts can be done successfully on people in their seventies or eighties as well. A face lift can make you look younger and fresher, and it may enhance your self- confidence in the process. A facelift will not stop the ageing process, but will make you feel better psychologically.
