FACE LIFT

FACE LIFT

As people get older, some changes occur in the face area. In fact, most of the time, the first signs of aging are noticed in the face area. Besides aging, sunlight and gravity show their effects on the face area. Face lift surgeries are performed to reverse the effects of aging and to have a healthier, vigorous and younger face appearance. Tissues such as sagging, loose skin, muscle and fat are brought back to their original places, excessive ones are removed and a younger face is gained. Surgery is not necessarily required for a facelift. One of the preferred methods of today is a face lift band. A facelift with surgery is also possible, except for facelift bands and facelift procedures, which are non-surgical and injected. If the person applies due to obligation and / or aesthetic dissatisfaction, and if deformations in the form of loosening and sagging are detected in the skin as a result of the examination performed by the specialist physician, it is not very difficult to eliminate these problems with facelift surgery.

During the facelift surgery, the sagging of the face is corrected by hanging the structure called Smass, which forms muscle, fat and nerve tissue, and the abundant skin is removed at the appropriate extent. At the same time, the signs of aging in the lower and upper eyelids can be corrected. The skin is taken from this area and the displaced fat is transported to the appropriate place and the excess is removed. The facial skin is removed with a surgical incision starting from the scalp on the ear and extending down from the front of the ear, from the back of the ear to the scalp behind the ear. Soft tissue including facial muscles that cause sagging on the face is suspended with special stitches. The excess part of the skin is removed. Thus, skin abundances in the temple, cheek and chin area are eliminated.

There is a common belief that only the skin is stretched with facelift surgery, but this is not true. With a correct and successful surgery, not only the skin, but also all skin layers are shaped in three dimensions. With the incision made on the skin, the connective tissues under the skin, mimic muscles and downward relaxed tissues are intervened. By touching these deep tissues under the skin, the loosened and sagging elements are moved to where they should be on a normal face and existing disorders are eliminated. Although facelift is mostly demanded by women, it has started to be preferred especially for elderly men who want to enter a new job. The surgery can be performed under general anesthesia or under local anesthesia. Depending on the surgery technique performed, 1 or 2 nights of hospitalization may be required.One day after the operation, a drain is removed from the back of the ear to prevent the accumulation of fluids in the area. Post-operative ice application speeds up the healing process. You are discharged on the second day of the operation. A pair of sunglasses may be brought in to wear on discharge. Sutures on the face and eyelids are removed in 1 week. Metal stitches in the hair are removed on the 10th day. You can take a bath 2 days after the operation. If there is bruising or edema on the face, it is possible to talk about the onset of swelling and the disappearance of edema between 48 and 72 hours. After 7 to 10 days, the patient will be able to return to work.
