We live in a society that gives a lot of importance to being in shape and having a young appearance. Increasingly, a youthful face correlates to strength and energy in all areas of a person’s life. A youthful face must have harmony and adequate volume and correct location of the tissues in its three thirds (upper, middle and lower). Rhytidectomy or facelift aims to remove excess skin and reposition the muscles and fatty tissues of the middle and lower thirds of the face by repositioning these tissues in the appropriate places, fixing them in deep planes and giving adequate support, modeling the structures anatomical, returning the firmness, beauty and youth to the face.
