A face and neck lift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure aimed at reducing visible signs of aging in the face and neck area. It's commonly sought by individuals who want to address sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and other signs of facial aging.

During a face and neck lift, a plastic surgeon will make incisions typically around the ears and sometimes along the hairline. Through these incisions, the surgeon will lift and reposition the underlying tissues of the face and neck, remove excess skin, and tighten the remaining skin to create a smoother, more youthful appearance. The procedure may also involve liposuction to remove excess fat deposits in the neck area.
