Facelift surgery is a surgical operation in which sagging of the skin due to gravity and advancing age is intervened and as a result, a younger, dynamic and vibrant appearance is obtained. It is a frequently preferred operation today because it is permanent for many years compared to non-surgical rejuvenation procedures.
Facelift can be divided into 3 different operation areas that can be performed according to the patient's needs. These are; middle, lower and mini facelift. In line with the patient's expectations and needs, a facelift operation can be performed on these 3 regions at the same time.
Facelift, which takes an average of 2 hours under general anaesthesia, is performed with the help of incisions made at the temples and hairline. This incision can extend to the back of the ear. The incisions are made in hidden areas such as folds or behind the ear, aiming for minimum scarring. After the incisions, the excess skin causing sagging is removed from the area and the skin is given a new form. The incisions are closed with self-dissolvable sutures and the operation ends.
After the facelift, the patient is kept under observation in the hospital for one night and can return home/hotel the next day. Edema and pain in the first few days are quite normal. In this process, contacts that may damage the face and contact of the face with water should be avoided for 3-4 days.
DAY 5-10:
During this period, care should be taken to consume soft foods and care should be taken not to strain the area. After the last controls are carried out, the patient can return home on the 7th day. After this process, the patient can continue his/her life practices and business life that will not tire him/her. The area should be protected from impacts, oral hygiene should be very careful.
1ST MONTH:
The first month after bichectomy, swelling and oedema continue to decrease. The patient transmits his/her visuals to the health representative at regular intervals and is checked by his/her doctor. In this way, the healing process is followed. The doctor may have recommendations for medication or oral hygiene. It is very important to follow these recommendations.
3- 6TH MONTH :
Although it varies from person to person, the recovery process is completed at the end of the 6th year. Routine checks can continue to be provided online as needed. The most important point to be considered in order to spend the healing process in a healthy and comfortable way is to follow the doctor's recommendations and avoid prohibitions that may adversely affect the result.
