Facelift
A younger look to your overall face

Facelift

Everyone’s skin is more elastic in childhood because there is a lot of fat under your skin and that means you do not need any facelift. But over time, when your age increases, the fat under your skin will decrease, and your skin’s elasticity will get reduced. This is how wrinkles appear on our faces. And people always want to reduce the amount of these symptoms. But how could it be?

Many ways exist to rejuvenate your skin and restore a refreshed and younger look to your overall face. One of these methods is a facelift that helps you eliminate the aging influence on your face. The excess skin and accumulated fat will be removed during this cosmetic surgery. At TurkCure, we are happy to introduce our package, a facelift.

What is a Facelift?

Facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgery technique for skin rejuvenation. This operation is associated with removing wrinkles and sagging skin on the face. Facelift is done to revitalize and rejuvenate the skin and creates a younger and fresher appearance in the person.

By removing excess and droopy skin, wrinkles, and deformed fat, people will look much better and more youthful. Those whose skin has become loose and droopy due to aging can improve all the problems caused in this area by doing facelift surgery.

Some of the benefits of a facelift include the following:

  • Improving sagging face
  • Reduction of wrinkles and lines under the eyes
  • Reduction of folds and wrinkles, and lines between the lips and nose
  • Improving the appearance of the skin in the jaw area
  • Reduction of sagging neck skin

How To Prepare For Facelift Surgery?

There are several tips for preparing for a facelift:

  1. Stop taking blood thinners such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, warfarin, vitamin E, and supplements to reduce the risk of bleeding.
  2. Quit smoking.
  3. Prepare the remedies prescribed by your surgeon, such as painkillers, topical ointments, sterile gas, hydrogen peroxide, and adhesive tape, and leave them at home.
  4. Bring loose clothes with an open front for the day of surgery to use them after surgery. Clothes that are closed in the front can put pressure on the parts of the face and cause you discomfort.

Facelift Procedure
Step by step guidance

Facelift Procedure

  1. Anesthesia: At first, the surgeon uses an anesthetic to perform the surgical procedure in the patient’s comfort. Using an anesthetic will give patients more relaxation, and they will not feel any pain during the operation.
  2. Incision: Then, cuts should be made in certain face parts to provide a channel for the facelift. The places where incisions are made include: under the jaw, above the forehead, behind the ears, and the lower parts of the chin, and in most cases, the incisions are made to hide the surgical site inside the hairline.
  3. Removing sagging skin and fats: At this stage, the skin is stretched, and the excess skin and fat are removed. In the next step, surgeons sometimes inject some drugs to increase the skin’s strength. With this action, the lower layers of the facial muscles become tighter.
  4. Suturing the skin: In the final stage of the facelift procedure, the cuts should be stitched after performing all kinds of lifting procedures. The stitches are done with standard sutures, so they will not cause any reaction in the body.

After care at home

What Care Is Needed After Facelift Surgery?

  1. Patients can usually return to everyday life and do daily activities two weeks after the surgery. Heavy physical activity will be prohibited for four weeks after surgery.
  2. Your doctor will give you the points related to the care and the time to return to daily activities.
  3. Swelling and bruising are normal and usually peak two days after surgery. However over time, the amount and severity of these symptoms will decrease and will disappear after ten to fourteen days. Even in some cases, patients stay in the house for a week.
  4. During the healing process, protecting the face from sunlight is essential because the possibility of sunburn will be higher for a few weeks after the surgery.
  5. Patients should use a cold compress to reduce swelling and inflammation. You should avoid placing ice directly on the wounds.
  6. In the first days after the operation, for 2 to 3 days, do not bend your face down and keep it straight so that the healing process of bruising and swelling is faster.
  7. Sleep so that there is no pressure on the face. Use two pillows under your head to accelerate swelling and inflammation healing.

FAQ

Face-lifting surgery is generally introduced as a painless process. The only thing that most patients complain about is swelling and bruising, which is temporary and will subside after the recovery period.

Most patients can benefit from the results of the facelift process for up to 15 years. The longevity of a facelift depends on the quality of the surgery, age, and skin characteristics. Skin type largely depends on genetic and environmental factors such as sun exposure, smoking, diet, and exercise that affect skin elasticity.

Scars usually remain on the sides of the face: in front and behind the ears. The scar in front of the ear starts from the hairline. The purpose of placing the incision in this position is to cover it with hair. But generally, taking good care after surgery and using complementary methods may help fade such marks.

Facelift surgery has no age limit and can be performed for people with muscle sagging. Usually, people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s are the most suitable candidate for such an operation.

Usually, the initial bruising and swelling resolve within two weeks after your surgery.
