Face / Neck Lift

What is a Face - Neck Lift?

A face - neck lift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure performed by Dr. Hatem Elfieshawy. This procedure aims to change the appearance of the face and neck by removing excess skin, tightening underlying tissues, and repositioning the skin. It can address common signs of aging such as sagging, wrinkles, and loss of skin elasticity.

Like any surgical procedure, a face - neck lift requires careful consideration, and there are risks and potential complications involved.

Dr. Hatem is dedicated to providing accurate and realistic information about the procedure, risks, and recovery process associated with the procedure.
