The loss of a youthful appearance in the face can be due to a variety of factors, including age, heredity, gravity, environmental conditions and stress. If you are bothered by the changes caused by these factors, you may be interested in a facelift, or rhytidectomy, which is a surgical procedure that improves visible signs of aging in the face and neck. This includes:

• Sagging in the middle of your face
• Deep creases below the lower eyelids
• Deep creases along the nose extending to the corner of the mouth
• Loss of skin tone in the lower face that creates jowls
• Loose skin and excess fatty deposits under the chin and jaw can give even a person of normal weight the appearance of a double chin
