Dr. Manuel Díaz Guzmán — Facial Surgery

What Is a Facelift?

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that tightens the skin and underlying tissue of the face and neck to correct the sagging that appears over time, restoring a more defined facial contour.

Patients seek it out when the skin of the face and neck has lost firmness, when a double chin or noticeable folds appear next to the mouth, and when the result they want goes beyond what a non-surgical treatment can achieve. The decision on technique and scope is made in consultation with Dr. Manuel Díaz Guzmán, based on your anatomy and goal.

How Does a Facelift Work?

The process starts with a consultation where Dr. Manuel Díaz Guzmán evaluates the quality of your skin, the degree of sagging, and the specific areas that concern you (full face, only the lower third, or the neck). That's where the most suitable technique and incision pattern are defined.

Before surgery, a complete preoperative evaluation is done. The medical results determine whether you're in condition to safely undergo surgery — your safety comes before the date on the calendar. The surgery is performed under anesthesia, and the incisions are placed to stay concealed along the hairline and around the ear.

Technique and Considerations

There's no one-size-fits-all approach for every patient. Dr. Manuel Díaz Guzmán defines the right technique at your evaluation, taking these factors into account:

  • Scope: Full Face or Partial
  • Neck Lift
  • Incision Pattern
  • Skin Quality and Elasticity
  • Combination with Blepharoplasty
  • Scar Placement

What Are the Benefits of a Facelift?

The most sought-after benefits are a more defined facial and neck contour, tighter skin in the treated areas, and a rested look that better reflects how you feel, without changing your face's natural expression.

Behind every result is the backing of Dr. Manuel Díaz Guzmán's credentials: training at INTEC, residency in Plastic Surgery through RENACIP at Hospital Dr. Salvador B. Gautier, and membership in SODOCIPRE — verifiable, not just a marketing promise.
