Abstract

A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that improves visible signs of aging in the face and neck, such as sagging caused by relaxation of the skin, deepening of the fold lines between the nose and corner of the mouth, fat that has disappeared or fallen, the development of jowls in the cheeks and jaw, loose skin, and excess fat of the neck that can appear as a double chin or "turkey neck." A number of factors can cause the face to lose its youthful contours, including thinning skin, fat loss, gravity, sun damage, smoking, heredity, and stress. Brow lifts and eyelid surgeries are additional operations that can be used in conjunction with a facelift to revitalize aging eyes. It may be suggested to use fillers or fat transfer to replace the lost fatty volume. Skincare procedures including lasers, dermabrasions, and peels could be recommended to enhance the skin's texture and quality. In the century since it was first introduced, the facelift procedure has seen a significant change. Numerous safe, reliable, and efficient surgical techniques have been developed because to the information gathered by earlier surgeons. There is currently disagreement in the literature regarding the most effective strategy. This indicates that, in the hands of an experienced surgeon, several available surgical options are comparable. Many proponents of the various popular approaches have developed strong cases to back up their positions. The lack of consensus emphasizes how crucial it is to constantly innovating in order to meet patient expectations, enhance longevity, and achieve good surgical outcomes. Similarly, further examination of current methods via carefully planned research is essential for the final creation of a "gold standard." One can observe a similar level of progress in facelift development over the next century, with a focus on the use of new technology and a tendency in that direction. This review article focuses on face lift technique and associated problems experienced medical professional.
