ToggleFacelift surgery (Rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure that provides long-lasting results. The operation is performed under general anesthesia to tighten and reshape the tissues under the skin to correct sagging and wrinkles in the face and neck area and usually has a permanent effect. This operation usually takes 2-4 hours.
Although the recovery process after facelift surgery varies from individual to individual, it usually takes a few weeks. There may be swelling and bruising for the first few days, but these disappear over time. Full recovery may take several months.
Minimal scars may occur after surgery and these scars fade over time during the healing process. However, you should keep in mind that each individual’s healing process may differ.
Facelift surgery can generally give different results depending on age. However, it may be possible to achieve 7-10 years of rejuvenation with facelift surgery. Let us state again that the results of the surgery may vary from person to person.
Some preparations should be made before surgery:
Facelift is a highly technical and complicated operation. Because the facial anatomy under the skin has a very complex structure.
After general anesthesia is applied to the patient, a surgical incision is made starting from the scalp above the ear and around the ear to behind the ear and the facial skin is lifted. The soft tissue causing sagging is suspended with the help of special sutures and the subcutaneous tissue is supported. Excess skin is cut off in the required amount. If necessary; it can also be combined with eyelid aesthetics. Since the scar caused by the surgery will remain under the scalp, there is no scar that will disturb the patient.
The sutures placed during the operation are removed 2 days later and the stitches are removed 1 week after the operation. There may be numbness and edema in the facial area for a few weeks after the operation. These postoperative conditions, which are considered to be extremely normal, decrease and disappear spontaneously.
After facelift surgery, the recovery process that patients face consists of several important stages. First, the swelling that occurs within a few days after surgery usually begins to decrease within a week, but it may take several weeks to completely disappear.
Complete recovery from facelift surgery usually takes several weeks to several months, depending on the patient’s health condition and the extent of the surgery. Postoperative sutures are usually removed one week to ten days after surgery.
The corset or bandage applied to the patients’ faces is usually worn continuously for the first few days after surgery, and this period may vary according to the doctor’s recommendation.
Postoperative edema is managed with proper care and sometimes with special techniques or medications recommended by the doctor. The facial suture area should not be in contact with water for at least one week, but this period may vary according to the patient’s condition and the doctor’s recommendations.
Non-surgical facelifts are possible and are techniques performed using non-surgical procedures. The duration of permanence may vary from person to person and provides temporary results.
It may be suitable for individuals with mild sagging or wrinkles. However, since each individual’s situation is different, it is important to consult a specialist to assess your personal situation.
A non-surgical facelift aims to fill the loss of volume in the face, smooth wrinkles or increase skin firmness, usually using fillers. Injectable products such as Botox can reduce wrinkles by temporarily relaxing muscles. Energy-based devices can stimulate the tissues under the skin to tighten.
Facelift Surgeries in Turkey vary between $4000 and $10.000 according to many different variables.
