Aging is an inevitable process and the first signs begin to appear on the face at the age of 30. As age progresses, it becomes evident and all tissues on the face are affected. Facial bones become thinner.
Facial skin loses its elasticity and becomes wrinkled. With the melting of the subcutaneous fat tissue and muscles, sagging occurs in the soft tissue with the effect of gravity. The entire skin begins to be covered with wrinkles and sagging.
As a result, the face acquires a tired, old and collapsed appearance. It is possible to correct such consequences of advancing age with facelift procedure. Facelift surgery does not stop aging.
The surgery makes the person look younger and more lively than their age, but the aging process continues. The face is anatomically divided into three different regions and each region is evaluated separately for the surgical intervention to be performed for rejuvenation.
The upper face includes the temple area, forehead and eyebrows, the intervention applied to this area is the upper face lift procedure. The midface includes the cheek area and the intervention applied to this area is the midface or cheek lift procedure. It includes the lower face, under the chin and neck region, and the intervention applied to this region is the lower face or neck lift.
Surgical intervention can be applied to each region individually or in combination. During the facelift attempt, the incision is made entirely within the scalp. During mid-face and lower-face lift, incisions are made from the border in front of and behind the ear.
Since the operation scar remains in the scalp and in the fold areas, there is no scar problem. Swelling and bruising on the face after the operation is a normal process, often serious pain does not happen contrary to what is believed.
Oral painkillers are sufficient for the first days of pain. The application of ice to this area at intervals for the first 24-48 hours significantly reduces the swelling.
In addition, with some effective creams to be recommended, bruising is less and heals faster. The person can return to work after 1 week.
Facelift surgery cannot stop aging. The surgery makes the person look younger than their age.
