For people, aging is an undesirable but unstoppable situation. As we turn 30, we begin to see the first signs of ageing under our eyes and also when we smile we see the first lines appearing. These signs become clearer and more intense with the progression of age. All the structures that make up our face are affected by these changes caused by aging.

The bone structures in the face begin to thin as time goes on, leading to reduced flexibility in the skin and the formation of prominent wrinkles. The reduction in fat and muscle tissues under the skin of the face and the sagging that starts to show its effect on the soft tissue, over time, will cause the entire skin to be adorned with wrinkles. These effects reflected on our faces by the passing of time cause our faces to gain a lifeless and tired image. It may be impossible to prevent the passing of time, but with face lifting operations it is possible to delay the effects of aging and eliminate the negative consequences caused by it.

Neck And Face Lift Surgery
Aesthetic face lifting operations are not enough to stop aging. Along with face lift surgery, neck lift surgery also makes the patient look more vibrant, energetic, healthy and young. The facial structure of a patient undergone a face lift surgery, shows the patient as quite young and alive compared to the age he/she is, even if the effects of aging continue.

Anatomically, the face is divided into three different areas and each area is evaluated separately for the surgery. The area of the temple, which also includes the eyebrows and the forehead, is called the upper face. Forehead stretching is generally applied to the upper face area. Cheek stretching operations are performed on the area called the Middle face, which includes the cheek area. The part of the face that contains the lower jaw and neck area is called the Lower face and the procedure applied to this area is usually neck lift surgery. These surgeries can be performed in each area individually or simultaneously together.

Removal Of Facial Wrinkles And Sagging By Facelift Surgery
Face lift operations can be performed with sedation using local anesthesia or under general anesthesia. Although the duration of the surgery varies according to the application, it is estimated to be between 3-6 hours on average. In upper face (forehead) stretching operations, the incision is made within the hair of the scalp. In the Middle face (cheek) and lower face (neck) stretching operations, incisions are made in the same way by measuring the borders behind and in front of the ear. As the scars of the operation remain inside the folded areas and scalp, no permanent and obvious scars are seen in the patient.

After surgery, bruising and swelling in the face area is expected to occur. The patient will not have very serious pain complaints.  Simple painkillers can be taken to help relieve the pain that will be felt in the beginning. During the first 24-48 hour period following the surgery, the application of ice treatment to the area where bruising and swelling is intense provides important benefits in reducing the swelling. Some creams that can be bought with the advice of the doctor are also suplements that prevent bruising and speed up the healing process.

After The aesthetic Face Lift Surgery
Since most of the stitches in face lift operations are sutures, they also do not require removing. A week after surgery, the patient can return to his / her old life and the place of work. After face lifting operations, drains may be replaced. This may require the patient to remain in hospital until the next day after surgery.
Facelift operations are operations that achieve high success and eliminate the effects of aging and wear seen in the patient. It makes one look more alive and younger than his/her real age. Non-surgical stretching methods can also benefit in removing smaller wrinkles and problems.
