Initial recovery usually allows a return to daily activities within 7 to 14 days, depending on individual evolution. Residual inflammation and the healing process continue to improve progressively over the following months.

It is extremely common and recommended to combine rhytidectomy with a blepharoplasty to rejuvenate the look or a fat transfer to restore lost volumes. Performing these procedures simultaneously optimizes operating room time, logistical costs and offers a much more comprehensive aesthetic result.

Although a rhytidectomy can “turn back the clock” by ten to fifteen years, the natural aging process will continue to run its course. However, the repositioned facial structure will always look younger and firmer than it would have if the procedure had never been performed.

The incisions are strategically placed around the ear and hairline, taking advantage of natural creases so that the scars are discreet. With proper surgical technique and postoperative care, they usually become inconspicuous over time.

Ideal candidates are people who present facial or cervical flaccidity, have good skin elasticity, have a defined bone structure and are in good general health, always after a personalized and complete medical evaluation.

Most of our patients describe recovery as a feeling of tightness or numbness rather than acute pain. Thanks to our minimally invasive techniques and advanced analgesic management, discomfort is mild and perfectly manageable during the first postoperative days.

No. When rhytidectomy is performed with proper technique, the goal is to restore facial firmness and contours without altering expression. The result should be natural, harmonious and consistent with the patient's individual anatomy and features.

There is no fixed chronological age, as aging depends on genetics and lifestyle. Generally, it is ideal for patients between 40 and 80 years old who present loss of jaw definition, neck flaccidity or very marked nasolabial folds.

Rhytidectomy, also known as facelift, is a surgical procedure designed to correct sagging of the face and neck by repositioning deep tissues, reshaping the skin and removing excess skin, achieving a natural facial rejuvenation.
