Face Lift

What is a Facelift?

A facelift is a surgical procedure to reduce sagging skin, wrinkles and lines on the face. Facelift helps to eliminate the appearance problems caused by skin aging in the facial area.

A facelift is a surgical intervention to tighten the facial muscles and skin. During this procedure, the fatty tissue and loose skin under the skin is removed and the facial muscles are tightened. This helps to reduce sagging and wrinkles in the facial area and make the face look firmer and younger.

A facelift is usually used to treat sagging and wrinkles in the facial area. The procedure is suitable for people who want to achieve a younger and fresher appearance by reducing the signs of skin aging in the facial area.

The facelift procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and may require an overnight stay in the hospital. The recovery period after the procedure may take about 2-4 weeks and the face may experience swelling, bruising and discomfort. However, these symptoms usually resolve in a short time and the face looks firmer and younger after the procedure.

How is Face Lift Procedure Performed?

Since a facelift is a surgical intervention, it is usually performed in a hospital or surgical center. The procedure is most often performed under general anesthesia, so the patient is put to sleep during the procedure and does not feel pain.

The facelift procedure usually involves the following steps:

1. Anesthesia Before the procedure, the patient is given general anesthesia and put to sleep.

2. Incision Two incisions are usually made for the facelift procedure. The first one starts in front of the ears and continues behind the ears. The second is made on the scalp in the scalp. These incisions are made to remove fatty tissue and loose skin under the skin.

3. Skin removal: After the incisions are made, the surgeon removes the fatty tissue and loose skin under the skin. Then, the facial muscles are stretched and the skin is lifted.

4. Stitching: After the skin is removed, the incisions are closed and sutures are placed.

5. Recovery: After the facelift procedure, the patient may experience swelling, bruising and pain on the face. These symptoms may last for a few days or weeks. After the healing process is complete, the face may look firmer and younger.

The facelift procedure can vary according to the patient's characteristics and is sometimes used in combination with other aesthetic procedures. Before the procedure, the surgeon evaluates the patient's expectations and health history and recommends the most appropriate treatment plan.
