The Rhytidectomy Surgery:

As this is a major cosmetic procedure, a rhytidectomy or a facelift takes several hours or more. Sometimes, a surgeon requires a patient to schedule two separate sessions. But this is the case if there is any extra plastic surgery required to be done on the facial area.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, professional plastic surgeons meticulously examine the facial and bone structure before performing a rhytidectomy. Depending on the facial structure and the surgeon’s operating technique, the incisions are made.

The incisions are made at points that can be easily covered by the hair or by any other facial feature. The incisions usually start from above the hairline at the temples.

The facial skin is then lifted away from the underlying fat and muscles. Depending on the facial shape that is required the fat is trimmed and the muscles and membrane are tightened. The plastic surgeon then closes the incisions with stitches and if required, metal clips are used.

A rhytidectomy has to be executed in a very intricate manner and the plastic surgeons at PSI have a deep understanding of this procedure. They are well-trained and have a finely honed sense of aesthetics.

A patient’s face is the canvas on which the PSI plastic surgeons work out the fine art of cosmetic surgery. Working in close consultation with the patient they create faces that hold time in thrall.
