Face Lift Surgery

The face: Due to the effects of aging, gravity, sun damage, and the appearance of wrinkles, the changes that occur on the face make the person appear old, tired, or sad. In order to get rid of these problems, especially for patients who are middle-aged and older, a face lift can be performed on them. Because face lift surgery are performed on the ages of 40 and above, the absence of any health problems in these people is considered essential for this procedure. For neck liposuction or not, the condition of the eyelids, the possibility of getting implants to define the chin, or does he need to inject the cheeks with fat or does he need a specific procedure to enlarge the size of the cheeks or not? In some cases, in order to obtain better results, there is a need to perform a combination of these surgeries together. In the facial area, there are many nerves responsible for the movement of the facial muscles, and these muscles must be exposed to damage. For this reason, a face lift is a process that requires expertise and experience. During the examination that will be conducted to you, the appropriate technology for your structure will be selected, and you will also be provided with all information related to the process. Before the face lift procedure, you will be asked to quit smoking if you are a smoker. You should also inform the doctor of any diseases you suffer from, such as blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, or any other diseases. When you obtain information related to the face lift surgery, you will be explained about the alternative operations and applications that will be performed for you. If you are young, it is also possible to perform preliminary operations before a face lift, such as eyelid surgery and liposuction from the lower jaw.

When you decide to have a face lift and while you are helping the doctor choose the technique prescribed for you, you will be informed of the anesthesia technique, other additional interventions, the results and risks of the operation, the hospital in which the face lift surgery will be performed and the cost of the operation. A face lift is an operation that is performed under general or general anesthesia according to hospital conditions. The duration of the process varies according to the work that will be performed during it. Usually, staying in the hospital for one night is enough. The traditional facelift incision often begins in the hairline at the temples, continues around the ear and ends at the bottom of the scalp. Fat can be sculpted or redistributed from the face, jaws and neck and the underlying tissues are repositioned, usually the deeper layers of the face and muscles are lifted as well. Skin wrinkles above high lines are eliminated and excess skin is removed. It may be necessary to make a second incision under the chin to improve the aging neck. The incisions are closed with surgical sutures or skin adhesives. As an alternative to a traditional face lift, shorter incisions are used in the temple, and continue around the ear. “Micro-lifts” are usually reserved for patients with less skin relaxation, as the results are less rejuvenating than a full facelift. Minimally invasive rejuvenation treatments cannot achieve the same results as a surgical face lift, but they may help delay the time when a face lift becomes appropriate and complements the results of surgery.
