Facelift Surgery
(rhytidectomy surgery)
Facelift Surgery Procedure Abbotsford
Women and men typically choose to move forward with rhytidectomy surgery, better known as a facelift, when they begin to notice a loss of youthful appearance. Facelift surgery is a more invasive form of cosmetic surgery, performed under general anesthesia, that removes excess loose and sagging skin from the face, chin, and neck caused by aging. A blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) can also be performed at the same time as a facelift to achieve a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
A facelift remains one of the most popular procedures for improving visible signs of aging and restoring smoother, firmer contours to the face and neck. At Abbotsford Plastic Surgery, Dr. Aaron Brown customizes every facelift cosmetic surgery to suit the individual’s goals and anatomy for natural, lasting results.
