Facelift

The facelift, or rhytidectomy (“rhytid”=wrinkle, “-ectomy”=removal), is a powerful and meticulous plastic surgical procedure that acclaimed board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ariel Rad expertly uses to reverse these unwanted effects of aging to restore a more youthful, refreshed facial appearance. As we age, the clear signs of aging begin to appear: skin wrinkling and loss of elasticity, soft tissue descent and atrophy causes cheeks, neck, jowl and jawline sag and droop causing deep lines, hollows and folds. These visible signs are caused by aging in skin, droop of soft tissues, and hollowing caused by loss of volume (medically referred to as “atrophy”).
