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.

Recovery

Recovery from a face/neck lift varies among individuals. Typically, patients can expect to take one to two weeks off work, with restrictions on strenuous activities for up to four weeks. Dr. Hatem Elfieshawy will provide detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
