What is Facelift Surgery?

Technically known as a rhytidectomy, a facelift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that addresses skin laxity and sagging in the face by tightening the skin, tissue and muscle and reshaping through the removal of excess skin and fat. At London Plastic Surgery, we expertly perform full facelifts, focused on your whole face, and mini facelifts, aimed at enhancing your face’s lower half. Facelift surgeries can take anywhere from 3–5 hours to perform and are most often done under general anesthesia, meaning the patient is asleep. Patients go home on the same day as surgery and often take 1–2 weeks off work. They can typically return to normal activity within four weeks and see final results three months after the procedure.
