What is a Facelift Surgery?
Facelift surgery is also called rhytidectomy surgery, with the help of which wrinkles and other sagging skin are removed from the face. Facelift surgery is usually performed to look younger and reduce other facial symptoms caused by aging.
Due to advances in aesthetic medicine and the increase in average life span, more and more people are now living to old age. With aging, wrinkles, sagging skin and sun spots start appearing. However, the effects may also vary depending on the skin type.
People who have thick skin have more problems with sagging skin. Similarly, people who have thin skin start having the problem of wrinkles. When a person grows old, the collagen present in his body starts losing elasticity and the fat of the skin starts decreasing. In such situations, wrinkles start appearing in the skin.
Facelift surgery in Turkey helps you look younger by tightening sagging skin. With the help of this surgery, excess skin is removed from the face, sagging tissues are tightened and folds are removed, thereby improving your appearance.
Ideal Candidates For Facelift Surgery in Turkey
A facelift is generally not for anyone under the age of 30. In most cases, a facelift works best for people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s when signs of aging begin to become prevalent.
Symptoms of aging may include the following :
- Sagging skin beneath the jawbone, also known as jowl midface sagging
- loose skin around the neck
- Folds near the jaw and mouth (melolabial creases)
- swelling under the eyes
How Many Types Of Facelifting Are There At Prof Clinic?
You have two types of options in this. Non-surgical facelift ( Golden threads) and surgical facelift.
In non-surgical face lifting (golden threads), there is no surgery, no incision, no injection, and no bleeding.
In surgical face lifting, your skin is stretched, and an incision is made and most of the fat is removed.
There are many types of surgical facelift. But mainly, two types of facelift surgeries in Turkey are done. The facelift procedure is selected for you according to your needs and facial structure.
- A Surgical Facelift : This process starts at your temples in the hairline, continues down and around your ears, and ends behind your ears in your lower scalp. An incision may be made under your chin to improve the appearance of your neck. While the surgery is more extensive than golden threads, and thus requires more recovery time. Its results are better. Through incisions located just behind the hairline, near the temples, and around the front of the ears, hidden in natural folds, a cosmetic surgeon can reposition the deep tissues beneath the skin and remove excess skin to smooth creases. A surgical facelift can remove, and eliminate sagging skin.
- Golden Threads Facelift (Non-Surgical Facelift):Golden threads facelift are applied to various parts of the body, particularly the forehead, chin, and mouth to tighten the face. To erase wrinkles, a mesh-like set of golden threads is put into the affected area. This is accomplished by having the doctor do a facelift and lift operation in addition to introducing golden threads to tighten the face in the fatty area beneath the skin. These threads serve the purpose of maintaining the face taut for many years following the procedure.

- You are called a few days before the surgery, during which you will be physically examined and all your health information will be taken. With its help, it is confirmed whether surgery is suitable for you or not.
- The doctor will examine different parts of your facial skin to find out how much elasticity your skin has. During this, mainly the skin of the cheeks, near the eyes, and the neck is examined.
- If you have any health-related problems, allergies infections, infections, etc., then you should inform the doctor about these before the surgery. So that these conditions can be corrected before starting the surgery.
- If you are taking any type of medicine, herbal product, vitamin, mineral, or any other supplement, tell your doctor about it.

Blood thinning medications commonly include aspirin, naproxen, and warfarin.

How Is Facelift Surgery Performed?
- First of all, an incision is made around the ear on the edge of the hair, which is as long as the other end of the ear. The size of the incision is kept small or increased as per requirement.
- After making the incision, the skin is moved aside so that the tissue beneath can be accessed.
- The muscle area under the skin will be repositioned and tightened. If there is excess fat, it can also be cut and separated.
- An incision is then made under the chin and excess fat and muscle in the neck will be removed.
- When excess fat and skin are removed, the incision is closed with stitches or staples, and the entire surgical area is covered with a bandage.
- While closing the incision behind the ear, a drainage tube is placed, with the help of which the blood and other fluids accumulating in the surgical area automatically come out. This tube is usually removed after a day or two.
