Although facelift operations are perceived as aesthetic operations, they are sometimes performed with medical indications. Today, we cannot talk about the fact that only women prefer facelift surgery, which is commonly performed for aesthetic concerns.
Facelift procedures, which are also very popular among men today, are mostly preferred to recover skin loosening and sagging after a certain age. It is not possible to talk about a certain age range for face lift operations. However, nowadays, especially after weight loss operations, patients prefer face lift operations.
Is Non-Surgical Face Lift Possible?
When non-surgical face lift is mentioned, not only face bands should come to mind. Non-surgical face lift procedures such as botox, filler, laser, cellular therapy, which are also referred to as "non-invasive" methods that do not require large intervention on the patient, are also among the options. However, it is a fact that should be kept in mind that procedures performed without standard medical requirements cause serious problems such as infection and allergies. And another thing to keep in mind is that permanent results should not be expected from applications such as botox, laser and cellular therapy. These applications have an effectiveness of 6 months or 1 year. After this period, the effect gradually decreases and the process may need to be repeated.
How is Face Lift Surgery Performed?
Apart from the non-surgical procedure, injections and face lift tape application for face lift, surgical face lift is also possible. If the person applies due to necessity and/or aesthetic dissatisfaction, and if deformations such as loosening and sagging of the skin are detected as a result of the examination performed by the specialist physician, it is not difficult to eliminate these problems with facelift surgery.
With the developing technology, both the cost of such operations and the acceleration of the operation and post-operative process increase the preferences in this direction. While planning the surgery, first of all, by looking at the youth photos of the patient, it is determined how aging occurs, where and in what direction deformation occurs on the face.
How Long is The Permanence Of Face Lift Surgery?
It is possible to achieve a rejuvenation result of 5 to 10 years on the face with a facelift surgery performed with proper planning. The permanence of the effects of such surgeries, which will be performed with an experienced surgical team, is definitely longer than the facelift band and other methods. Although it is possible to pronounce this permanence period as 10 years under normal conditions, it is useful to underline that the main determinant of the duration is the living conditions of the person.
Factors such as excessive smoking and alcohol consumption, a stressful lifestyle, lack of sleep, staying away from sports and exercise, inadequate and problematic eating and drinking habits, and perhaps most importantly, not taking precautions against sun damage can shorten the 10-year permanence period.
How Does the Post-Face Lift Process Work?
While the postoperative hospital stay is usually one or two days; The patient who is discharged at the end of this period can return to his/her daily life directly. If there is bruising or edema on the face, it is possible to say that the swelling starts to go down and the edema starts to disappear within 48 to 72 hours.
After 7 to 10 days, the patient will be able to return to work. A waiting period of 1.5-2 months is required for the surgery to reach a complete result and for the face to regain its natural state.
