Facelift surgery, clinically known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the visible signs of aging in the face and neck and restore a younger-looking face. Sagging mid-face, deep creases underneath the lower eyelids and along the nose, loss of facial volume, loss of skin tone in the lower face, excess fats under the chin and jaw, and loss of youthful contours are some of the conditions that can be corrected with a facelift.
The procedure requires a high degree of plastic surgery skills to achieve safe, desirable, and proportionate results. Board-certified plastic surgeons, Dr. A. Dean Jabs and Dr. Franklin D. Richards provide facelifts and other procedures at Cosmetic Surgery Associates. Operating through their offices in McLean VA and Bethesda MD, Dr. Jabs and Dr. Richards receive patients from Northern Virginia, Fairfax, Alexandria, VA, Chevy Chase, Rockville, MD, and surrounding communities.
