Face Lift Surgery

As we get older, deformations occur due to sagging and loosening caused by the loss of fat tissue on the face. This is surgery performed to eliminate deformations. With the stretching process, fatigue and pale appearance on the face also decreases.

It is an operation generally preferred by middle-aged patients. Before the operation, the patient is examined and planning is made in accordance with the patient's expectations, the aesthetic prediction of the physician who will perform the procedure, and the anatomical structure. The surgery should be performed under anesthesia in the hospital environment. The physician who will perform the procedure must be a specialist plastic surgeon.

Although the procedure time varies depending on the person's condition, it takes an average of 2-5 hours.

It is recommended that people who want to have a second session face lift surgery have it done after a break of 7-10 years.

In addition, another factor that will affect the quality of surgery is smoking. For the success of the operation and the speed of the recovery period, it is recommended not to smoke.

After the operation, the incision scar remains, but it is not very noticeable since it is behind the ear and on the scalp.

In some patients, it is caused by anesthesia; Swelling, bruising, slight asymmetries or numbness may be observed on the face, but these are temporary.

Dressing is done in a way that leaves the eyes, mouth and nose open. After 3 days, the dressings can be removed and the hair can be washed. Stitches are removed after approximately 1 week.

Male patients should not shave for 2-3 weeks after the operation.
