A facelift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves tightening and repositioning the skin, muscles, and tissues around the face to improve its appearance. The goal of this surgery is to reduce signs of aging such as wrinkles, sagging skin, and loose jowls by removing excess fat, tightening muscles, and trimming away loose skin. A facelift can be done alone or in combination with other procedures like eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or a brow lift to achieve the desired results. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and requires several weeks of recovery time.
