What is a Face Lift (Rhytidectomy)?
Face lift (rhytidectomy) is a surgical method that removes sagging and wrinkles due to aging by stretching and hanging. In this method, the surgeon aims to remove or reduce the excess skin in the area between the lower eyelids and the chin. By tightening and lifting the loose facial skin, it makes your face look younger and increases your self-confidence. In addition, surgery may include other cosmetic treatments in the same session: neck lift or eyelid surgery.

Who is a candidate for face lift (Rhytidectomy) surgery?
Ideal candidates for face lift surgery are people whose face and neck skin has begun to sag, but whose skin has not yet lost its elasticity and who do not have any other health problems. This surgery is usually applied to men and women over the age of 40. However, due to structural and genetic reasons, this type of surgery can be performed in full or in a limited way at an earlier age.
What are the types of face lift surgery?

FULL FACE LIFT SURGERY
In full face lift operations, the entire cheek area, jaw line and neck are stretched with an incision starting from the scalp area in the temple area, continuing in front of the ear and ending behind the ear.

Before surgery
When you have a problem with facial aging and sagging and are considering surgery, first discuss with yourself what you want and why, and then consult our representative and co-founder. Tell your doctor about your wishes and expectations one by one and discuss them with him. When you have made your final decision, after the last consultation with our plastic surgeon before coming to Turkey, if you are smoking, you should definitely quit 10 days before the surgery. Inform your doctor about your sunbathing and skin care habits, and don’t forget to ask what you need to do after the surgery so that the surgery will give a more permanent result.
Operation
The operation is performed in hospital conditions, under the supervision of an anesthesiologist, in the operating room. It can be done with general anesthesia, as well as intravenous sedation (with sedative drugs) under local anesthesia. Such surgeries may take 3-10 hours depending on the technique and what will be done. It is possible to go home the same day, but it is usually appropriate to stay in the hospital for 1 night. Additional operations (nose, eyelids, etc.) can be done in the same session. Face lift surgery is not scarless. However, these traces are not obvious as they are hidden. The scars are hidden in the scalp in the temple area, in front of and behind the ear. If the fat in the sub-chin area is removed, a 3-5 mm scar will remain under the chin. If eyelid and forehead lift is added, additional scars will remain on the eyelids and scalp on the forehead. However, these facial scars are mostly invisible and can be hidden.
Postoperative
Early period after surgery usually passes on at ease. There may be a general swelling and bruising on the face, numbness and a feeling of tension. Since the facial nerves may be mildly affected by anesthesia during the surgery, there may be mild asymmetries on the face. These go away on their own in 3-5 days. A head wrap and cold pads are applied to the cheeks, leaving the eyes, nose and mouth open. In order to prevent the accumulation of blood in the tissue, silicone pipes called drains can be placed. The resistors are withdrawn within 2 days at the latest. The dressing is completely opened after 2-3 days. General inspection and dressing change is made. Hair can be washed during this period. Since dissolving type sutures are used frequently nowadays, it does not need to be removed. If non-dissolving sutures are used, they are removed after 5-7 days. It is recommended that patients use a special face corset for at least 2 weeks after surgery. It is necessary for the person to protect his face from physical factors and clothes while dressing, and not to move his face that is stretched during the recovery phase. When necessary, pain relievers can be used other than aspirin. In order to avoid skin losses due to blood circulation problems, one should not smoke for 1 month after the operation.
Return To Normal Life
It gives good results if it is performed in accordance with the surgical technique. Rarely, second corrections may be necessary. From the 2nd day after the operation, the patient can stand up and do his homework. After a week, the patient can return to work and put on make-up after the swelling subsides. It is recommended to avoid heavy exercises and excessive sunlight for 2 months and to protect it from external impacts. The newly formed shape of the face and neck skin lasts for 5-10 years, sometimes for a lifetime, depending on the person’s structure and environmental conditions.
