Rhytidectomy, commonly known as a face lift, is a cosmetic surgery technique that removes and re-tones skin on the face with the aim of removing features typically associated with ageing skin, such as sagging and wrinkles. Fat may also be removed during a face lift and, in some cases, implants are added and soft tissues augmented to change the contours of the face.
