How Does Face Lift Aesthetic Surgery Work?
Facelift aesthetic operations are procedures that surgeons should plan individually. The patient's expectations and anatomical structure are essential for the planning of the procedure. Facelift surgeries focus on three major spots. These areas are; the upper face, where the forehead and eyebrows are located; the mid-face section, where the eyes and surroundings are located; and the lower face section, where the mouth, chin, and neck are located. In facelift surgeries, the scars are hidden in the most proper areas, such as natural folds front and back of the ear and the scalp in the temple area, depending on the surgery area. In this way, the surgical scars are not that visible. The area that is intervened in facelift surgery is not only the skin surface. In addition to the skin surface, areas of the skin that we call soft tissue elements, such as muscle and fat tissue, are intervened. Facelift surgeries aim to move the tissues to their former positions and achieve a younger appearance. Facelift surgeries are performed under general anesthesia. This operation takes between 2 - 5 hours. Facelift surgeries can be carried out along with eyelid aesthetics, eyebrow lift, forehead lift, fat injection, and liposuction surgeries. The duration of the procedure may differ for operations conducted this way.
What are the Types of Face Lift Aesthetics?
Every face is different from the other. Naturally, its needs and treatment methods also differ. A complete facelift can be applied when interventions in local areas are occasionally sufficient. The recommendations of the doctor who will operate and your demands will determine the method to be preferred.
Lower Face Lift Surgery (Mini Facelift)
Mini facelift surgery is carried out under general anesthesia. As its name signifies, it targets the lower part of the face. The operation aims to tighten the skin along the jawline and lower cheeks by the incisions made on the natural line at the back of the ears. Lower facelift surgeries are generally preferred for younger patients with early sagging symptoms. Lower facelift (mini facelift) surgeries are less invasive and take shorter than other facelift surgeries.
Mid Face Lift Surgery
This type of facelift surgery targets the mid-face area where the eye and surroundings are located. In this operation, also known as cheek lift surgery among society, the fat in your cheek area is repositioned to give the skin a tight look.
Forehead Lift (Brow Lift)
Forehead Lift targets wrinkles in your upper face. It is the method used to remove wrinkles in your forehead area. With this method, the lines caused by the frown are also corrected. During the surgery, the incisions are made to be hidden by the hairline. The eyebrows are raised during the forehead stretching process, giving your skin a younger expression.
Neck Lift (Lower Rhytidectomy)
This method makes the incision to the natural folds in the upper part of the ear, so scars are not visible after the operation. The procedure aims to tighten the jawline and neck skin and remove wrinkles.
Full Face Lift
Full facelift surgery is a complicated operation that deals with the face. Therefore, the surgeon who performs the procedure is essential to be experienced. It is recommended for people who want to correct severe aging signs in their faces. The operation time is longer than other facelift surgeries. Healing is achieved in the face's lower, middle, and upper parts with the incision from the temporal side to the back of the ear during the surgery. If the surgeon seems necessary, he/she can also intervene in the excess fat in the neck and jaw area.
How is Face Lift Aesthetic Surgery Performed?
Facelift surgeries are operations that surgeons should plan individually. Before the procedure, a physical examination that evaluates the person's facial structure is necessary. During the examination, the feasibility of your wishes is evaluated. In facelift surgery, tests before every surgical operation are applied. If you do not have any health condition or discomfort that prevents you from having surgery, preparation and surgical planning are made.
