Face Lift
Facelift surgery is a method to eliminate sagging skin on the face and neck and fat under the chin. Thanks to facelift surgery, the patient will feel better, alive, beautiful and young. Thanks to facelift surgery, sagging excess skin is removed and the face is made more taut. If the skin elasticity of the person has not been lost, the result of facelift surgery will be much more successful. Facelift surgery can be performed alone or in combination with forehead lift and eyelid aesthetics. The most suitable candidates for facelift surgery are people between the ages of 40 and 65 who have sagging and fat deposits on the skin of the face and neck but have good skin elasticity. The average duration of facelift surgery varies between 3 and 4 hours. Although general anesthesia is preferred in this surgery, local anesthesia can also be applied. The location of the incisions to be made in the surgery is adjusted according to the structure of the face and the technique of the surgery.
Is there an age limit for facelift surgery?
Generally, after the age of 50, many people start to have significant sagging and fat deposits on their face. The irregularities in the skin in the jaw line and neck area and the folds in front of the ears disturb the person the most. At this stage, facelift surgery should be applied and rejuvenation should be achieved with the success of the method.
Will I feel a lot of pain after facelift surgery?
As seen after all surgical procedures, mild pain may be felt for a few days after the facelift procedure. These pains can be easily prevented with the help of medications given to the patient after the surgery. Swelling and bruises will be seen on your face after the surgery, but these should not cause you any fear and anxiety. Within 1 month, you will realize that you get rid of these conditions instantly. You can return to your normal life and work two weeks after facelift surgery.
Will there be a scar on my face after facelift surgery?
Since special sutures and dressing materials are generally used in facelift surgery, the scars on the face will be minimal. Since the scars will be between the scalp, they will not be visible. The scar formed from the stretching around the ear will also not be visible here, as it will be on the junction line of the ear and face and even under the earlobe.
Will my facial expression change after a facelift?
Since people have a unique anatomical condition, the surgeon should start facelift surgery by calculating and taking these into consideration. The operation should be performed by a surgeon who knows the anatomy of aging. In addition, if facelift surgery is performed by paying attention to facial expressions and the anatomical structure of the face, no change in facial expression will be seen.
How long will I recover after facelift surgery?
After the surgery, the healing time of the incisions on the face is between 7-10 days. Edema seen after the surgery is among the problems that last for 2-3 weeks but recover rapidly.
