Especially with aging, there are naturally some changes in the appearance of the face. As the skin loses its elasticity over time, the skin becomes looser. However, while fat deposits decrease in some areas, an increase is observed in some areas. At this point, facelift surgeries can provide benefits to achieve the desired appearance. Face lift (rhytidectomy) surgeries performed to provide a younger appearance to the face are mostly cosmetic surgeries.
Facelift surgeries are performed under general anesthesia. It is performed in the form of removing excess skin tissue after shaping the structure called smas under the skin by entering with an incision made from the anterior border of the ear. It can often be accompanied by temple and neck stretching, and the incision lines are extended towards the temple area and behind the ear.
It is important to give a normal appearance to the patient / client, without changing his facial expression, so that he looks younger. In this surgery, asking and examining the younger photographs of the patient constitutes the main guide for creating the roadmap.
It is necessary to avoid maneuvers that will increase blood pressure and cause bleeding, especially in the early postoperative period. It is important to apply ice and keep the head slightly elevated to reduce edema and bruising. In addition, it is extremely important to strictly follow the recommendations of the doctor.
Edema and bleeding may occur in the early postoperative period. Asymmetry may be noticeable. However, all these complaints can be noticed in the first week. These will usually resolve within the first week. The time to wait for the face to settle and take its final form is approximately 3-6 months.
