Facial Rejuvenation With A Facelift Surgery

Facelift and necklift surgeries do not aim to stop aging. They aim to achieve rejuvenation by improving the present signs of aging in the face and neck. Facelift and necklift operations can be expressed as a restoration work for the face and neck.

As people get older, the skin on their faces may become loosened and start to sag. Their jawlines can become soft. Under their chins, loose skin and excess fat may form layers vertically. Deep tissues under their faces (such as fat, muscle) can become loose and sagging in the deeper tissue may occur along with the skin. Wrinkles may occur in various areas on their faces. In time, personal life styles, intense weight gains and losses, effects of gravity and sun exposure all contribute to these. The main goals of facelift and necklift surgeries are to correct these formations and to improve them visually.

Tightening of the loose skin along the jaw line, reduction in the deep lines around the mouth and nose, removal of the excess, sagging skin around the cheeks, chin and neck, as well as the excess fat tissue, tightening and repositioning of the deeper tissues in the midface, can all be performed with the facelift and necklift surgeries. In addition, definition in the face can be increased by facelift surgeries, providing an overall firmer face and a more youthful appearance.

As face lift surgeries do not target the forehead, eyebrows and eyelids, operations such as forehead lifts, browlifts, eyelid surgeries are performed in order to provide rejuvenation in these areas. These surgeries can also be combined with a facelift surgery and can provide quite effective results when needed. Another operation which may be preferred to be combined with facelift operations is facial fat transfer operation. Many people who are considered as candidates for a facelift surgery who excess and sagging skin in the face also can have volume loss. The fat tissue taken from another suitable area of the body can be injected into these areas to create more volume. And since fat tissue contain the stem cells, they can also provide nourishment to the skin and revitalize the face.
