A rhytidectomy (face lift) is a surgical procedure that improves visible signs of aging around the neck and face.  As a result, the sagging, the wrinkles, and double chins are to be disappeared.  The loss of youthful features may be caused by multiple things such as smoking, weight gain, stress or sun exposure.  Other surgical procedures may be considered with conjunction to a face lift, including eyelid surgery or brow lifts.  Fat transfers or fillers may also be used to make up for lost volume.
