Facelift Claims: Facelift Surgical Negligence & Rhytidectomy Compensation Claims

What is Rhytidectomy?

In recent years’ plastic surgery has grown in popularity with facelifts amongst some of the most popular. A rhytidectomy, more commonly recognised as a facelift is an elective cosmetic procedure with the desired outcome of lifting and tightening the face to provide a more youthful appearance. The procedure includes reducing wrinkles and the excess saggy skin to improve the appearance of the face, patients have the option to either undergo a full facelift or to target certain key areas which mostly include the lower face area, brow region or around the neck.

Rhytidectomy operations can be comparatively complex compared to other cosmetic surgery procedures, namely because the face comprises 43 muscles and is a major area of the body for sensory systems and nerve endings.

Surgery on the face is, therefore, quite an ordeal for the body, Most patients elect to have facelift surgery to remove fat and to produce an appearance of a more toned face with tightened muscles. As the number of cosmetic surgery procedures is on the rise, it is a consequence that the figure of procedures that result in undesirable consequences will also increase.
