MODEL RELEASED. Cosmetic surgery. Doctor demonstrating the benefits of cosmetic surgery to a young man. He may undergo a procedure called a rhytidectomy to tighten the skin on his face and emphasise his jawline. This is achieved by creating an incision on each side of the face from the temple, past the front of the ears and then behind the ear to the hairline. Once enough skin has been separated, the muscles will be tightened and excess fat removed. The skin can then be tightened to produce a taut appearance.
