There is a reason why facelift is one of the most sought after plastic surgery procedures. Our face is the image we present to the world and determines how we look in many ways. The float eliminates sagging and wrinkles and gives a younger, brighter look to patients of any age.
PREPARATION FOR THE Face Lift OPERATION
The patient undergoes all the necessary examinations before the operation, blood and urine tests are taken, an ECG is performed, and a chest X-ray is taken. The patient's blood is checked for infectious and viral diseases, blood clotting level, Rh factor is determined. The patient should inform the doctor about all medications taken and completely stop the drugs that affect blood clotting 2 weeks before surgery. The patient consults an anesthesiologist. The goals of the operation and the desired results are discussed with the patient.
operation duration: 2-3 hours;
Anesthesia: local anesthesia or general anesthesia;
The types of facial stretch marks are as follows:
- Deep Plane Face Lift;
- lifting of the upper third of the face (forehead lift, Endoscopic Brow Lift);
- Neck Lift
Face Lift in aesthetic plastic surgery is considered the most difficult but delicate operation.
The operation consists of several stages:
- The area of operation is pre-marked;
- incisions are made from the scalp, incisions are made with a scalpel;
- The process of tissue separation is carried out with the help of special tools.
- The smas layer dissecting
- starting from the inside of the ear, excess skin is detected and cut out;
- the edges of the wounds are carefully joined, stitches are placed in layers;
- drainage is installed;
- At the end of the operation, a special corset is put on the patient's face and transferred to the after surgery room.
After the operation, the patient stays in the hospital for 1 day so as not to feel uncomfortable. It is normal to have swelling that gradually increase in the first 5 days and then gradually decrease. Drains may appear a 1-5 day after surgery. They will leave on their own without any treatment. It will be possible to start using cosmetics after 3 weeks. The patient will be able to see the full result only after 4-6 months.
Platysmaplasty its important to get good neck during facelift surgery
Recognizable traces of aging are often seen in the forehead and eyebrow area. It can cause loosening of these structures, drooping eyebrows, drooping eyelids, forehead wrinkles, and frowning scars. In brow lift surgery, it is the compression of the structures responsible for these problems or the alteration of the forehead softness, the brows are lifted up, the frown marks are healed. A brow lift can be performed alone or in combination with other procedures such as a facelift or eyelid surgery.
Recent advances in brow lift surgery make it possible to perform procedures with a different approach, including endoscopy. Brow lift surgery is individual for each patient. Depending on your needs, one of several surgical incision techniques can be selected by your surgeon. Brow lifting does not stop the aging process. Different forms of treatment; brow lift surgery and treatment of laxity in the upper brow region of the forehead. Improvement of skin laxity and lines can be improved with other treatments or surgery. Risk or potential complications are associated with different forms of treatment or surgery.
Risks in brow lift surgery:
Every surgical procedure carries some risk. It is important to understand the risks of brow lift surgery. One's choice of surgical route is based on a comparison of risks with potential gains. Although most patients do not experience the complications that we will discuss below, discussing each of these with your plastic surgeon; It is important to fully understand the risks, potential complications, and consequences of brow lift surgery.
Bleeding: Although rare, bleeding problem may be encountered during or after the operation. If bleeding occurs after the operation, emergency drainage treatment may be required. Since they increase the risk of bleeding, the use of aspirin or pain relievers should be stopped ten days before the operation. Hypertension that is not under medical control can also cause bleeding during or after the operation. Bleeding can delay healing and cause poor scarring (scarring).
Infection: Infection is usually not expected after this surgery. In rare cases, additional antibiotic therapy or surgical intervention may be required if infection develops.
Change in skin sensitivity: After eyebrow lift surgery on the face and scalp, there may be a decrease or loss of skin sensitivity. It may pass over time. Chronic itching may occur in the scalp and eyebrows following forehead stretching and eyebrow lifting.
Irregularity in skin lines: Irregularity in the skin, lines, collapse, wrinkles may occur after eyebrow lifting.
Bad scarring: Although good wound healing is expected after surgical intervention, in rare cases, abnormal bad scars may occur. These scars may be of a different color from the surrounding skin and may look unappealing. Metal materials, staples and threads used in brow lift surgery may cause noticeable scars. Additional treatments, including surgery, may be necessary in the treatment of abnormal bad scars.
Changes in surgical approaches for brow lift:
In some cases, your surgeon may be compelled to make changes in surgical technique for the brow lift procedure based solely on factors discovered during the surgical procedure. This can be a change from an endoscopic (closed) procedure to a standard (open) brow lift procedure.
Nerve injury: There is a possibility of injury to both motor and sensory nerves during the eyebrow lift and forehead lift procedure. Loss or weakness in brow lift or forehead movements may occur after surgery. Many people will notice a return in motor function. Persistent weakness is rare. Injury may occur in the sensory nerves of the forehead, scalp and temple area. Decreased sensitivity (sensation) may be in the scalp area after brow lift surgery. Persistent numbness or painful nerve scars are rare.
Damage to deeper structures: After surgery, deeper tissues such as the eyes, blood vessels, skull bones, muscles and nerves may also be damaged. The potential for this may vary depending on the type of surgery. These damages can be temporary or permanent.
Asymmetry: Normal human face is asymmetrical. As a result of brow lift surgery, there may be variation between the two sides.
Surgical anesthesia: Both local and general anesthesia carry risks. Any type of surgical anesthesia or sedation has a risk of complications, damage, and even death.
Delayed healing: Wound dehiscence or delayed wound healing is possible. Some areas of the scalp and eyebrow may heal abnormally and slowly. Some areas of the skin may die. Frequent dressings may be required or surgery may be required to remove non-healing tissue afterwards. Smokers have a higher risk of complications such as skin loss and delayed wound healing.
Allergic reactions: Infrequently, there have been reported cases of local allergy to the used plaster, suture materials or topical preparations. More serious systemic reactions may develop due to drugs used during or after surgery. Allergic reactions may require additional treatment.
Seroma: Fluid collection may be under the skin infrequently. If this problem occurs, procedures may be required to drain (out) the fluid.
Long-term effects: As a result of aging, exposure to the sun, weight gain or loss, and some other conditions, there may be changes in the appearance of eyebrows and forehead unrelated to brow lift surgery. Brow lift surgery does not stop aging, nor does it permanently provide tension in the eyebrow area. New surgeries and treatments may be required in the future to preserve the results of brow lift surgery.
Eye Irritation: Eye dryness or irritation may occur after brow lift or if the patient has had eyelid surgery at the same time.
Pain: Very rarely, chronic pain may occur after brow lift.
Hair loss: Hair loss may occur along the surgical incision or on the scalp. It cannot be predicted that this will happen. Hair loss may improve slowly or, in rare cases, may be permanent.
Eyelid disorders: Diseases affecting eyelid functions such as insufficient laxity between the eyelid and eyeball (ectropion) or drooping upper eyelid (ptosis) may occur simultaneously with drooping forehead and eyebrow structures. Eyebrow lift surgery will not correct these disorders. Additional surgical interventions may be required.
Unsatisfactory Results: There is a possibility that the brow lift surgery will not give good results. This includes unacceptable visible deformities, loss of function, wound deterioration (cracking, splitting) and carries risks such as loss of sensation. The outcome of the surgery may disappoint you. Rarely, additional surgery may be required for better results.
Necessity of Additional Surgery: Besides the risks and potential surgical complications, there are many variables that will affect the outcome of the brow lift operation. Although risks and complications are not common, those related to brow lift are mentioned here. Other risks and complications are even less common. Additional surgery or treatment may be required if complications develop. While good results are expected, there are no guarantees stated.
One of the most commonly performed procedures is the mid-facelift surgery. This area, which is the central point of the face, is more prone to aging and shows signs of premature aging. The mid-facelift is applied to female patients between the ages of 30 and 55. In cases such as sagging cheeks, the formation of under-eye bags, and weak cheekbones, this procedure is performed to give the central point of the face a fuller and more youthful appearance.
In endoscopic forehead lift surgeries, the upper part of the face is tightened to achieve a younger and more dynamic appearance. During a forehead procedure, the forehead and temple areas are stretched, and if necessary, the eyebrows are lifted. Endoscopic forehead lift surgery, which holds an important place in modern aesthetic surgery, leaves fewer scars compared to classic forehead lift surgery, and the healing process progresses more quickly.
Kantoplasty, commonly known as almond eye surgery in medical terms, is a procedure performed to eliminate sagging around the eyes. In this process, the eyes are tilted and opened more, providing a rejuvenated appearance. With a small intervention, you can eliminate this age-related issue that may bother you. It is important to note that this procedure is not only applied to women but also to men.
The core of this procedure involves repositioning and tightening the forehead, eyebrows, temples, mid-face, and corners of the mouth using an endoscopic technique, with small incisions made in the scalp. The surgery may be accompanied by eyelid plastic surgery and/or fat injections. The results of an endoscopic full facelift are long-lasting and help delay the signs of aging.
Everyone wants to look younger with a facelift, but no one wants it to be obvious that they've had the procedure. This can be achieved using the SMAS method. With this technique, a "plastic" expression on the face is avoided. SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) is an important layer that surrounds the significant muscles of the face and neck. During a facelift, not only the skin but also this layer is extended as a separate layer, giving the face a more natural appearance.
In facial rejuvenation surgeries, the surgical technique known as the "deep plane" refers to working beneath the SMAS layer. During this procedure, not only the skin of the patient is addressed, but also all the soft tissue masses that have sagged and loosened due to aging and gravity can be mobilized and restored to their original shape.
The SMAS Face Lift, a more advanced form of facelift that preserves a more natural expression on the face rather than a plastic look, allows for the tightening of the entire face, including the mid-face area. In this procedure, deformities in the lower and mid-face are also corrected. The High-SMAS Facelift is a surgery that lasts 3-5 hours.
Today, facelift surgeries are becoming more minimalist and are applied to specific areas. Instead of performing surgery on the entire face, the mini facelift technique allows for fewer incisions and a faster recovery process. This procedure is performed only on the lower face, cheek area, and under the chin. It is more effective to undergo the procedure at an early age (40-50) before the signs of aging and sagging in different areas of the face progress to advanced stages.
The Ponytail Lift surgery is very similar to endoscopic mid-facelift surgery, but its scope is somewhat more limited. As a result, the excessive/long-lasting swelling seen in endoscopic mid-facelift surgeries is less pronounced and resolves more quickly in this procedure. The outcome of the surgery tightens the upper face, including the forehead area, providing a lifted, fuller, and more youthful appearance.
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that rejuvenates the eyes, giving them a long-lasting, healthy, and meaningful expression. When referring to the aesthetics of the upper and lower eyelids, it involves the removal of excess skin and fat tissue from the upper and lower eyelid areas.
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure in which excess skin, muscle, and fat tissue are removed from both the upper and lower eyelids, along with the underlying fat tissue. Blepharoplasty restores the shape of the sagging skin. This surgery helps improve vision in elderly patients with drooping upper eyelids. The blepharoplasty procedure varies depending on the specific needs of each patient.
Kantopeksiya kimi bir cərrahi müdaxilə yuxarı və aşağı göz qapaqlarını korrektə etmək, gözlərin şəklini dəyişdirmək üçün edilir. Göz altındakı "torbaları" çıxarmağa, göz qapaqlarını qaldırmağa, yaralanmaların nəticələrini aradan qaldırmağa və s. kimi məqsədlərə xidmət edən kantopeksiya proseduru 18 yaşından başlayaraq istənilən yaşda edilə bilər.
The almond eye surgery, which is very popular today, eliminates the tired expression in the eyes, the central point of the face, and gives a younger and more attractive appearance. With this surgery, the outer corners of the eyes are slightly lifted, allowing the eyes to gain a larger and deeper expression, thus enabling people to have more attractive and stable eye shapes.
The curved eyes, known as cat eyes, give a fresher and more attractive appearance and are one of the applications that lift the face against gravitational force. To give the cat-eye expression to the eyes, it is enough to slightly lift the corner of the eye with a small incision, which is also called the cat eye surgery.
The health of the eyelids is very important both aesthetically and functionally. It plays a significant role in protecting the eye from external factors and maintaining its health. In medical literature, eyelid drooping is referred to as ptosis. Since ptosis is not a systemic disease, the only treatment method is surgery.
During this surgery, the sagging of the lower eyelid is corrected. Since cutless lower blepharoplasty is a painless procedure, it is a surgery that patients are more likely to seek.
Asian "Double Eyelid" surgery is intended to adjust the skin on the upper eyelid, lift the upper eyelid, and eliminate wrinkles. When the eyelid is created, the eye becomes larger, and the overall aesthetic appearance of the face changes.
Lip plasty reshapes the lips and simultaneously provides volume and moisture. Dermal filler materials or fat tissue transfer methods are used for this.
Also known as "Lip Lift" or "Upper Lip Shortening," this procedure is applied to individuals who are not satisfied with the length of their upper lip area. In this surgery, the distance between the lip and nose, which distorts the facial ratio, is shortened.
With Botox, wrinkles and lines on the skin are temporarily eliminated. Almost everyone can use Botox, except for pregnant or breastfeeding women. The Botox treatment, which takes very little time, can be used to reduce wrinkles around the eyes, forehead, and neck, lift the eyebrows, and prevent sweating. There is no pain after the procedure, and patients can return to their normal work life immediately after the treatment.
One of the methods used to provide fullness to the face is the injection of fat and tissue. Examples of areas where this application can be done include the cheeks, forehead, cheek-lip line, lips, chin tip, and other sunken areas. Typically, the fat taken from the person goes through special processes like washing and filtering, then is concentrated through fine tubes and injected into the necessary area.
Reconstructive surgeries aimed at eliminating deformities such as irregularities, sunken areas, and sagging in the facial area are among the most common plastic surgeries. These surgeries can be performed both individually and in combination.
The nose is an important organ both for appearance and breathing. Therefore, nasal interventions should be delicately planned and executed. With aesthetic nose surgery, the size of the nose, the tip of the nose can be reduced, the shape can be changed, the nostrils can be narrowed or widened, and the angle between the upper lip and nose can be altered. This surgery is used to correct congenital defects, nasal injuries, and certain respiratory problems.
Ethnic Rhinoplasty is the art of creating a natural aesthetic nose related to the ethnicity of the individual (African, Middle Eastern, Latin American, Asian, and Spanish). With various surgical techniques, the desired shape is created by correcting the pathologies in the nose.
Septorhinoplasty is the correction of the curvature in the middle part of the nose along with the external appearance in the same surgery. Problems that disrupt the breathing pattern, as well as deformations in the shape of the nose, are also corrected.
Facetite is a non-surgical procedure applied to rejuvenate small areas of the face and body, aiming to tighten the dermis. This highly invasive procedure includes steps such as lifting the facial tissues that have lost their shape, redistributing facial fat, and tightening the weak muscles beneath the face.
Due to aging, many deformities begin to appear on our face, especially around our eyes. Today, there are effective treatments that can be performed in a clinical environment for deformities such as under-eye bags, subcutaneous drainage due to rupture of fat pads, sagging eyelids, and drooping eyebrows. One of the latest technologies without surgery, Accutite, is an effective method for sagging eyelids, lifting eyebrows, intervening in under-eye bags, and reducing facial fat tissue.
