Leave Signs of Aging Behind with a Facelift

What is Facelift?

Facelift is an aesthetic surgical procedure performed to remove signs of aging, sagging and wrinkles occur on the face over time. This procedure, which is performed for facial rejuvenation, aims to tighten the skin and subcutaneous deep tissues in the face and neck area and give a more dynamic and youthful appearance.

For Whom Is It a Suitable Option?

A holistic facelift (Full Facelift) is usually recommended for people after the age of 40, but those outside this age range may also be suitable candidates. Ideal candidates are:

• Those with skin sagging and laxity in the face, neck and jowl area,
• Those with a tired look, sagging-bagging of the upper and/or lower eyelid,
• Those whose general facial appearance and expression are not compatible with their age,
• Patients who have not achieved the desired facial appearance with non-surgical interventions.

What are the Benefits?

• Sagging in the face and neck area is corrected. The deep tissues under the skin that have been displaced downwards over time are brought back to their former places.
• Wrinkles are reduced and the skin looks smoother.
• Facial contours become more defined and a youthful appearance is achieved.
• Self-confidence increases and there can be positive changes in social life.

How is Facelift Surgery Performed?

A comprehensive facelift operation is performed under general anesthesia and lasts between 3.5 and 6 hours on average. The skin incisions made during surgery are designed to be the least aesthetically visible. These incisions are skillfully hidden behind the ear and in the scalp. Thanks to this strategic placement, suture scars are minimized and in most cases almost invisible after the healing process.

The sutures used in facelift surgery are made of self-melting materials. Thanks to these special sutures, there is no need to remove stitches after surgery, which makes the healing process more comfortable.

The secret of facelift surgery is that it goes beyond the stretching of the skin on the surface. In the surgery, the tissue called SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) in the deep layers of the face is also intervened. The suspension and stretching procedures applied to this layer provide a more natural tightening of the face and help the results to be more permanent.

Postoperative Recovery Process

After facelift surgery, patients usually experience minimal discomfort and scars are barely visible, thanks to careful planning and application. As the healing process progresses, these scars become paler over time and can become almost invisible with proper care.

Facelift surgery offers a comprehensive and effective method for facial rejuvenation. The surgery promises not only a momentary improvement with interventions in deep tissues, but also long-lasting and natural-looking results. Thanks to the suturing techniques and incision placements, postoperative comfort and aesthetic appearance are prioritized, so that patients can both achieve a younger appearance and spend the healing process comfortably.

How Permanent Are Facelift Surgery Results?

Facelift surgery offers transformative and long-term results for most people. However, the permanence of the rejuvenating effects offered by this surgery depends on several important factors. Firstly, every person’s skin continues to age over time. This natural process can cause the rejuvenating effects achieved through surgery to gradually diminish as the person will continue to age. Therefore, the results of facelift surgery are permanent but do not stay the same forever.

The key to ensuring that the effects of surgery are long-lasting is to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Habits such as avoiding smoking, eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly and drinking enough water can help keep the skin healthier and slow down the aging process. These healthy habits contribute to maintaining the youthful appearance achieved after surgery for as long as possible.

Skin care plays an important role in this process. A daily skincare routine is vital to keep the skin moisturized and minimize the signs of aging. Professional skincare treatments and using quality skincare products can help maintain the skin health and vitality.

Does Facial Expression Change After Facelift Surgery?

After facelift surgery, many people wonder whether there will be any change in their facial expressions. Although the main purpose of this surgery is to correct the changes that come with the aging process and provide a younger appearance, it is aimed to preserve the natural expression and characteristic features of your face when performed correctly. In other words, there should be no change in the expressions, mimics and basic features of your face after the surgery; you will only have a fresher, rested and younger appearance.
