What is Facelift Surgery

Facelift, a surgical procedure performed to address sagging and wrinkles on the face due to various reasons over time, is aimed at improving the overall appearance of the face. Signs of aging on the face often include prominent forehead lines, sagging in the eyelids and cheeks, deep lines around the mouth and nose area, drooping eyebrows, under-eye bags, increased fat in the neck area, loss of jawline contour, and decreased skin vitality. Facelift surgery can effectively address these aging signs in the chin, mid-face, and lower face regions.

Problems Arising on Our Face Due to Aging Effects

The face plays a crucial role in social interactions with others and serves as the body’s first and most noticeable area. Moreover, it is the primary region where signs of aging first become apparent. Apart from aging, factors such as the effects of gravity, unhealthy nutrition, smoking, alcohol consumption, and the harmful rays of the sun can lead to a tired appearance on the face. Aging may cause thickening of the skin, the formation of lesions such as moles and spots, and a decrease in elastin and collagen, resulting in skin loosening. As aging progresses, the epidermis layer of the skin becomes thinner and more transparent. Additionally, blood vessel walls become thinner, causing the skin to bruise more easily. Facelift surgery can help individuals achieve a more vibrant and youthful appearance.

Why Facelift Surgery?

Facelift surgery is primarily performed to eliminate visible signs of aging on the face and neck. Facelift surgery can address:

– Sagging in the mid-face region
– Deep wrinkles below the lower eyelids
– Deep lines extending from the nose to the corners of the mouth
– Undesirable appearance caused by shifting or sagging fat
– Loss of facial volume

Who Is Suitable for Facelift Surgery?

The suitability for facelift surgery is determined based on specific criteria following evaluations conducted for each individual. Facelift surgery is generally preferred for individuals who have started experiencing sagging in the face and neck skin, but whose skin elasticity has not been completely lost. Candidates for facelift surgery are typically women and men over the age of 40 with no health issues that would hinder the surgery. However, individuals at earlier ages may also require facelift surgery due to genetic or structural factors. In such cases, full or limited facelift surgery may be performed.

Facelift surgery is not suitable for individuals with health issues that would prevent surgery, those who smoke or use blood thinners, and those with conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, which need to be controlled before the surgery. Additionally, individuals with unrealistic expectations about the results of the surgery are not suitable candidates for facelift surgery.

Types of Facelift Surgery

Facelift surgery can be performed using various techniques, including traditional subcutaneous facelift, subcutaneous facelift and mas plication, mini facelift, deep plane composite facelift, and high SMAS flap facelift. The specific technique to be applied is determined based on the individual’s needs by the surgeon.

Surgery Process

Facelift surgery can be performed under local anesthesia, general anesthesia, or intravenous sedation. The choice of technique and anesthesia is determined individually. The duration of the surgery can range from 3 to 10 hours, depending on the preferred technique. During facelift surgery, excess skin on the face is removed, the supporting system beneath the facial skin is reshaped and tightened, and the skin is sutured into its new position using special stitches. If necessary, fat tissues are placed under the skin to provide a fuller appearance. Fat tissues, with their stem cell-containing structures, contribute to increased skin elasticity. Facelift surgery can be combined with eyelid surgery, eyebrow lift, and other procedures if desired by the patient and approved by the surgeon.

The longevity of the results obtained from facelift surgery can vary between 7 to 15 years. Factors affecting this period include the patient’s skeletal structure, the technique used in the surgery, the expertise of the performing surgeon, and the effects of the natural aging process.

Recovery Process

After facelift surgery, patients may experience some pain in the treated area, which can be managed with prescribed pain relievers. Bruising and swelling in the treated area usually subside within one week. Keeping the head elevated above heart level during the early recovery period is recommended to expedite the healing process. Wearing a mask day and night for the first week after the surgery is necessary to prevent blood accumulation under the skin and to ensure the skin settles into its new position. Mask use is typically reduced to nights only during the following two weeks.

Drinking plenty of water and avoiding salty foods are important for reducing swelling and edema quickly after facelift surgery. During the initial healing period, it is advised to refrain from heavy exercise, avoid going outdoors without applying sunscreen, and steer clear of saunas and steam baths.

Risks

Facelift surgery, like other surgical procedures, comes with certain risks. These include bleeding, infection, nerve damage, scarring, and loss of hair or skin. When performed by an expert and experienced surgeon, with proper planning tailored to the individual, these risks can be minimized.

Age Limitations

There is no specific age limit for facelift surgery; suitability for the procedure is determined individually. Generally, facelift surgery is recommended for individuals who are dissatisfied with the tired and aged appearance of their face and wish to address these concerns. However, it is crucial to note that facelift surgery does not stop aging or the effects of gravity. As time passes, natural changes may occur in the facial area.

Facelift Surgery Prices

The cost of facelift surgery varies for each individual based on the selected procedure, preferred technique, whether the surgery will be combined with other procedures, the surgeon’s expertise, and the pricing policy of the clinic where the surgery will be performed. To obtain accurate information about the cost, it is recommended to schedule a consultation with a specialized and experienced surgeon.

A Heartfelt Gratitude to Meditravelist: Seamless Excellence in Every Step Hello, I’m from the UK, London specifically. I am compelled to express my deepest appreciation for the exceptional support and unparalleled service provided by Meditravelist Medical/Health Assistance Company throughout my surgical journey. From the moment I contemplated the surgery to my safe return to the UK, their commitment to my well-being was unwavering.

Emrah, the main coordinator, orchestrated every detail seamlessly—from accommodation arrangements to hospital visits. His genuine care extended beyond professional duties, ensuring my comfort and well-being at every turn. During my stay, Emrah went above and beyond by personally checking in on me daily, assisting me with post-surgery walks, and providing essential items without expecting anything in return. His dedication reflects the true essence of Meditravelist’s commitment to patient care. A special mention goes to Ilhan, an incredibly smart dentist, whose assistance in transportation to and from the hospital, as well as post-op check-ups, added an extra layer of reassurance.

This was the best medical experience I have had in a very long time. Yasemin was my hands-on coordinator that guided me through my entire experience and ongoing communication with meditravelist. She was also available for any questions or concerns I had before I traveled to Turkey. She even greeted me once I arrived (11/25/22) to my own nice apartment (which they provided for me) and continued to guide me through the rest of the time I was there. She sent me my personalized handbook of who my doctor was and my doctor’s detailed medical background and experience in the field of cosmetic surgery which was extensive. I received a rhinoplasty and 360 liposuction done by Op. Dr. Feryal Yildiz Deger. I am completely happy about my surgery results. She gave me the surgery results that are exactly what I asked of and expected. The liposuction led to me having more of an hourglass figure. The entire hospital staff were kind, professional and very patient. I traveled to Turkey alone from the U.S so I was very grateful for this. I was also grateful that the hospital itself was very clean and modern. I received medical attention that most ppl in the U.S would think pertained to millionaire affordability. The hospital staff catered to my every need and came to me promptly after pressing my hospital room call button. I would definitely recommend meditravelist to those who are looking into getting cosmetic surgery.

Sincerely thanks for a great service, friendly and professional support through all phases during our time in Istanbul. Yasemin, you are the best. I will add later with more info and pictures. As promised. More pictures from our amazing adventure with Yasemin and her team. Here you se my wife the day of surgery, 5 days later and 8 days later at her last check up at the surgeon Dr. Mehmet. Then it was my turn. Extensive dental treatment. Good to mention is that I suffer from extreme dental fear. But Best dental İstanbul took it out of me. 2,5 hours later in a very fancy environment I woke up with 9 new implants. Well done.
