Facelift (Face Lift Surgery)

Facelift is a surgical rejuvenation procedure applied to eliminate sagging, loosening and deep wrinkles that occur in the face and neck area due to the aging process. Over time, loss of skin elasticity, gravity effect and volume losses cause facial contours to lose their clarity. Face lift surgery aims not only to stretch the skin; It also aims to reposition the muscle and connective tissues under the skin. In this way, more natural, dynamic and long-lasting results are obtained. The goal is to give the patient a younger and more rested appearance without changing their facial expression. Facelift procedure can be applied with different techniques depending on the person's age, skin structure and degree of sagging. Options such as full face lift, mid face lift or neck lift are planned according to the needs of the patient. If necessary, it can be combined with procedures such as eyelid aesthetics or fat injection. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and can take several hours. Incisions are usually made around the ear and the scars are hidden within natural skin folds. Thanks to modern surgical techniques, scars lose their prominence to a great extent over time. The recovery process after facelift varies from person to person. In the first few days, edema and bruising can be seen, but these will decrease over time. Most patients can return to their social life within a few weeks. Face lift surgery does not completely stop the signs of aging, but offers a younger version of the face by taking back time. With correct patient selection and an expert surgical approach, facelift is one of the most effective and satisfactory solutions in facial aesthetics.
