This procedure removes face skin excess and correct facial angles that could be altered due to gravity effects.
Rhytidoplasty does not stop facial ageing process only hides it when the skin excess is eliminated, soften expression lines (wrinkles) when the skin is stressed and the face musculature and recreates again the correct face angles.
In this surgery we can work all the middle third of the face and neck, or only neck. Incisions are performed and camouflage around the ear and if it is only neck the incision goes in the back part of the ear. These scars with the time are almost imperceptibles.
