If you are unhappy with the lower two-thirds of your face, Dr. Toriumi may suggest you undergo a rhytidectomy procedure. A rhytidectomy, or facelift, is designed to correct conditions associated with an aging face. Visible indicators include saggy or loose skin and loss of facial muscle tone. A facelift can correct these indicators by removing excess skin from the face and neck, and sculpting the underlying tissues and muscles in your jaw, cheek, and neck area.
A facelift can be combined with other procedures to strengthen your chin and improve your brow or eye area. These include brow, chin, or eyelid surgery.
