Facelift in Fairfax | Mark Domanski, MD

Understanding Facelift Surgery

A facelift, medically known as rhytidectomy, is an advanced cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve visible signs of aging in the face and neck. This transformative procedure involves removing excess skin, tightening underlying muscles, and repositioning remaining facial tissues to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Facelift Procedure Overview

During a facelift, Dr. Mark Domanski carefully makes incisions in discreet locations, typically within the hairline and around the ears. The surgical technique allows for precise repositioning of facial tissues, muscle tightening, and skin redraping to achieve natural-looking rejuvenation.
