What is facelift technique?
Face lifting is a surgical method that corrects sagging and wrinkles caused by aging and creates younger and more prominent facial features.
With aging, there is a loss of elasticity in the facial skin; As a result, sagging and contour irregularities occur especially in the jaw line and mid-face area. The aging of the face is not limited to this; Baggage in the lower eyelids, drooping of the upper eyelids, drooping of the eyebrows, vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows and horizontal wrinkles in the forehead are other signs of aging.
With this surgery, sagging especially in the face and neck area is removed and a more prominent chin and face appearance is created. Excess sagging skin is removed, subcutaneous tissues are collected or suspended by lifting. Facelift can be combined with other surgical or non-surgical methods if necessary.
Although the surgery is often performed under general anesthesia, it can also be performed under local anesthesia under sedation support, in cases where the patient has a condition that may prevent general anesthesia or is not preferred by the patient.
