Facelift Surgery in Cincinnati, OH | Donna Krummen, M.D., Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

What is a Facelift?

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the face by repositioning mid-facial tissue over bony structures. This procedure addresses common aging concerns such as:

• Jowls and sagging along the jawline
• Overall facial sagging from cheeks to neck
• Deep lines and creases around the nose and mouth
• Loose skin beneath the chin
