The term "Rytidosis" comes from the Greek "rhytis" which means wrinkles. Rhytidectomy surgery is indicated for patients who want to improve the signs of
aging such as sagging and displacement (fall) of facial structures (for example the “double chin”). The repositioning of loose skin and muscles is performed, improving creases (such as the "Chinese mustache), the double chin and redefining the contours of the face. Other procedures such as blepharoplasty (eyelids) and frontoplasty are usually associated for a more harmonious result and we can perform it under local anesthesia and sedation.
