A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy is a common facial cosmetic surgical procedure in the UK and is an effective solution if you have excess skin around your jawline and neck as well as sunken cheekbones. The procedure lifts the excess facial skin upwards, creating a tighter, more youthful appearance.
For many, this excess skin and lack of volume will be present from the natural ageing process, however extensive weight loss can also cause skin to lose its elasticity over time.
Although there are now a multitude of non-surgical treatments that can re-introduce volume into your face, if you’re troubled specifically by excess skin then the optimum solution in most cases is to remove this loose skin through a surgical face lift procedure.
