Face Lift / Rhytidectomy
ศัลยกรรมดึงหน้า
Rhytidectomy is a surgical procedure where the face skin is striped in layers in order to lift up the face and replace the fat layers under the skin to their proper locations. Our procedure is deep down to the SMAS (Superficial Musculo Aponeurotic System) layer to improve the lip-cheek groove, Marionette line, and saggy chin areas. After that, the surgeon will remove the excess skin and stitch it around the hairline and the edge of ears which are unnoticeable.
Rhytidectomy can be done according to different face parts, e.g. upper face, middle face, lower face and neck.
If you are experiencing :
Visible sagging, drooping, or folding skin all throughout the face and neck
Dissatisfaction with results from previous procedures’ stitching, Bo, or laser
Visible sagging, drooping, or folding skin all throughout the face and neck
