ENHANCE YOUR FACIAL GLOW WITH A RHYTIDECTOMY

WHAT IS A FACELIFT?

Don’t let the signs of aging define you. Instead, reclaim your youthful glow and confidence with Rhytidectomy, the ultimate solution for a rejuvenated and refreshed look. Also known as a facelift, this procedure removes excess skin and fat from the face and neck, tightens the underlying muscles, and repositions facial features to restore a youthful appearance. Furthermore, this procedure can be done through either an open or closed surgery.

At Zion Plastic Surgery, our team of skilled and certified surgeons is committed to helping you achieve the best version of yourself through the transformative effects of Rhytidectomy. Our surgeons take the time to listen to your concerns and goals, thereby creating a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs, ensuring natural-looking results that enhance your features.

Additionally, there are several variations of facelifts, differing by size, placement, amount of incisions, procedure process, and results. For instance, the thread lift, also called an APTOS thread lift or a suture suspension facelift, is the least invasive type of procedure. It involves using a thread to tighten the skin and is performed in our fully accredited surgical facility. Moreover, some people may not achieve an ideal result from solely Rhytidectomy – and that’s okay. A facelift can be combined with a Brow Lift, Eyelid Surgery, Neck Lift, etc.
