Face lıft

Facelift surgery is a method that helps to remove sagging skin on the face and neck and fat under the chin. Thanks to facelift surgery, the patient will feel better, lively, beautiful and young. Thanks to the face lift surgery, the excess skin is removed and the face is made more taut. If the skin elasticity of the person is not lost, the result of face lift surgery will be much more successful.

Face lift surgery can be performed alone or in combination with forehead lift and eyelid aesthetics.

The most suitable candidates for facelift surgery are people between the ages of 40 and 65 who have sagging and lubrication on their face and neck skin, but have good skin elasticity.

The average duration of facelift surgery varies between 3 and 4 hours. Although general anesthesia is preferred in this surgery, local anesthesia can also be applied. The location of the incisions to be made in the surgery is adjusted according to the structure of the face and the technique of the surgery.

Is there an age limit for facelift surgery?

Generally, after the age of 50, many people begin to notice sagging and lubrication on their faces. Irregularities in the skin in the jaw line and neck area and the folds in front of the ears bother the person the most. At this stage, face lift surgery should be applied and rejuvenation should be ensured with the success of the method.

Will I feel a lot of pain after facelift surgery?
