Facelift and Neck Lift (Rhytidectomy)<\/h2>\n

The Problem:<\/strong> Sagging in the face and neck causing an aged appearance.
\nThe Goal:<\/strong> A younger, renewed appearance.
\nThe Procedure:<\/strong> To reposition fat and underlying muscles, then re-drape the skin. Sometimes only a neck lift is necessary if skin laxity and sagging occur only in the neck area and under the chin.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
