What is Structural Rhinoplasty?
15 October 2024
Meet facelift, the number 1 aesthetic treatment method developed to rid your face of the excesses brought by years. Sagging and wrinkles are known as a condition that is seen in all people over time and does not affect the appearance positively. This condition, which attracts attention especially when it occurs in the face area, can be eliminated with facelift surgeries. This operation, which is performed through very small incisions, restores the person to his/her former youthful appearance. People who have wrinkles and sagging problems at advanced ages and for different reasons show great interest in this method. In the facelift procedure, which can also be performed without surgery, the treatment method may vary according to the demands of the person and the doctor’s recommendation.
Yes, there is a scar on the face. However, this scar is extremely small and can be reduced to invisible levels with the intervention of your doctor.
The permanence of the treatment varies according to how much the person follows the doctor's recommendations in the post-treatment process. For 10 years, the new face shape can be maintained.
Hospitalisation may be required for maximum 2 days after the operation.
You can return to work life after 10 days at the latest.
If the person is discharged from the hospital after the operation, he/she can return to his/her normal life after 2 days. Swelling and bruises on the face disappear after a maximum of 10 days. Afterwards, daily life can be returned completely.
Today, facelift operation is mostly associated with aesthetic concerns. However, in some cases, there may be a medical need. In addition, it is an application that can be preferred not only by women but also by men. Facelift is performed on patients over a certain age in order to correct skin sagging and loosening.
The question ‘Who is suitable for a facelift operation?’ is frequently asked before the procedure. In general, it can be performed on anyone deemed appropriate after the examination. In recent years, sagging skin is frequently seen in people who have lost weight after bariatric surgery. This situation can cause aesthetic discomfort in the person. These people can also be good candidates for a facelift. Regardless of the purpose of the people, our clinic carefully determines the solutions.
Not only a surgical intervention is required for a facelift. One of the methods that has gained popularity recently is facelift threads. These tapes can be found on internet shopping sites or cosmetics stores that are easily accessible to everyone. However, the operations made with ropes have a temporary structure. It should not be forgotten that such applications can cause serious complications, that is, problems. In addition, no method is as effective as surgical methods.
In this regard, many people often look for longer-term solutions. Surgical facelift comes into play here and offers a solution to people.
Non-surgical facelift is not limited to ropes only. Procedures such as botox, fillers, laser and cellular therapy, which require minimal intervention to the patient, also called non-invasive, are also evaluated in this context.
However, it is extremely important that these procedures are carried out by competent people and under hygienic conditions. Because procedures performed in unsuitable environments can lead to serious problems such as infection and allergies.
It is a subject that people are often asked how permanent it is from procedures such as Botox, laser and cellular therapy. The effect of these procedures is usually limited to a period of 6 months or 1 year. Therefore, this process may need to be repeated in order to be seen again.
Before the facelift procedure, we are often asked how this is applied. Information about how facelift surgery is performed is provided if people are deemed suitable for the operation. In case the person applies with necessity or aesthetic concerns, our clinic is carried out upon the detection of deformations such as sagging or loosening of the skin as a result of the examination performed by a specialist physician.
Today, with the decrease in the costs of such operations and the acceleration of the surgical process, the interest in this method is increasing. While planning the surgery, the effects of aging and the deformations that occur can be determined by examining the patient’s youth photographs.
Facelift surgery is not limited to stretching the skin. It also includes the three-dimensional reshaping of all skin layers. Connective tissues, mimic muscles and sagging tissues under the skin are also corrected during surgery. With the interventions made to these deep tissues, the sagging tissues are placed in their natural places and the facial disorders are eliminated.
It is also a frequently asked issue whether there will be a scar after facelift surgery. Since small incisions and incisions hidden in the hair are used in surgeries performed with endoscopic methods, no scars are visible. In classical methods, the incisions made in front of and behind the ear heal over time and become invisible.
When facelift surgery is performed with the right planning and in expert hands, it is possible to achieve a significant rejuvenation on the patient’s face for 5 to 10 years. The effects of this type of surgery are longer-lasting compared to facelift threads and other non-invasive methods. However, one of the important factors affecting this permanence period is lifestyle.
The effects of the surgery may last longer in people who have adopted a balanced lifestyle, avoid bad habits, sleep regularly, eat healthy, exercise regularly and are protected against the sun.
However, it may be necessary not to neglect post-operative care and to make small touches periodically under the control of a physician, depending on the situation. In this way, the results obtained can be preserved for as long as possible.
Since technological advances in the field of plastic surgery have minimized the damage to tissues with the use of endoscopic surgical methods, the recovery time of patients has been significantly shortened. With these developments, the postoperative hospital stay is usually limited to one or two days. When the patient reaches the end of the period, he can return to his normal daily life
Among the postoperative symptoms, bruising and edema formation can be seen from time to time. However, these symptoms subside within 48 to 72 hours. The patient can return to work within 7 to 10 days after facelift surgery. However, it takes a period of 1.5 to 2 months for the surgery to reach full results and for the face to return to its natural state.
Some patients may be concerned that their faces will become unrecognizable after surgery. However, there is no need to worry about this. Because facelift procedure usually does not interfere with the bone structure. Only with the intervention of the skin, a younger and more lively appearance is obtained.
Facelift surgery, also known as rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic procedure performed to reverse the signs of aging and achieve a more youthful appearance. This procedure is aimed at correcting sagging, wrinkles, and loose skin on the face. Facelift surgery involves removing excess skin, tightening the underlying tissues, and repositioning the skin to redefine facial contours.
Facelift surgery is typically performed under local or general anesthesia. During the procedure, the surgeon begins by making incisions starting from behind the ears. The skin is then lifted, excess tissue is removed, and the underlying muscles and tissues may be reshaped as needed. The skin is then repositioned and the incisions are closed with sutures. The scars from the incisions are usually well-concealed within the natural contours of the face.
The advantages of facelift surgery include achieving a younger, rejuvenated appearance, redefining facial contours, and boosting self-confidence. However, there are some disadvantages to consider as well. These may include a longer recovery period, temporary swelling and bruising, rare risks such as infection or bleeding, and potential sensory changes in the face post-surgery.
After facelift surgery, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for several days. It’s important to rest, take prescribed medications, and follow post-operative care instructions provided by your surgeon. Recovery time varies from person to person, but most patients can return to normal activities within a few weeks and see gradual improvement in results over time.
Ideal candidates for facelift surgery are typically middle-aged or older individuals who have noticeable sagging or wrinkles on their face. However, not everyone may be suitable for facelift surgery. Factors such as pregnancy, chronic health conditions, or smoking can increase the risks associated with the procedure.
Facelift surgery is an effective option for those looking to diminish the signs of aging and achieve a more youthful appearance. However, like any surgical procedure, it comes with certain risks and requires suitable candidates. A thorough evaluation and comprehensive discussion with your doctor before surgery will help determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you.
