A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure aimed at reducing visible signs of aging in the face and neck by lifting and tightening the skin and underlying tissues. Facelift surgery can address sagging skin, deep wrinkles, jowls, and other facial concerns, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. There are several surgical techniques and variations of facelift procedures, including traditional facelifts, mini facelifts, and nonsurgical facelift alternatives.

 Traditional facelift: This is the most comprehensive type of facelift surgery and involves making incisions along the hairline, around the ears, and possibly under the chin. The surgeon lifts and repositions the underlying facial muscles and tissues, removes excess skin, and may redistribute fat to restore volume and contour to the face and neck. Traditional facelifts are suitable for individuals with significant facial aging and laxity.

Stem cell facelift: Stem cell facelift, also known as fat grafting or stem cell-enriched fat transfer, is a newer approach that combines traditional facelift techniques with the use of stem cells derived from the patient's own adipose (fat) tissue. During the procedure, fat cells containing stem cells are harvested from one part of the body, purified, and injected into areas of the face to restore volume, improve skin texture, and enhance overall facial rejuvenation. Stem cell facelifts are believed to promote tissue regeneration and collagen production, leading to long-lasting results and natural-looking outcomes.

It's essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in facial rejuvenation procedures to determine the most suitable facelift technique based on individual anatomy, goals, and preferences. The surgeon will conduct a thorough evaluation, discuss the available options, and develop a personalized treatment plan to achieve the desired aesthetic results while ensuring safety and optimal outcomes.
