Things That Should Be Known By Facelift Surgery Candidates

Facelift surgeries are those in which the lower half of the face is reshaped with the removal of the existing excess skin. In facelift surgeries, it is aimed to correct and improve the signs of aging on the lower half and neck of the face. As people get older, the skin and muscles on their faces begin to lose density. Facelift surgeries do not stop the aging process but they make it possible to correct and improve the most obvious and visible signs caused by this process, with procedures such as tightening deep tissue structures in the face, removal of the excess skin and tightening the skin on the face and neck, and removing the fat tissues from selected areas.

One of the most important factors for facelift surgeries is the condition of the facial skin. Characteristics such as the amount of lax and sagging skin, the quality of the skin and the elasticity of the skin are important factors for an evaluation for a facelift surgery. The results will be more efficient if the skin has more preserved elasticity. It will also be more possible to improve the wrinkles on the face that are targeted by a faceliift surgery.

Face and neck lift surgeries do not target the forehead, eyebrows or eyelids. However, operations such as forehead lifts, browlifts, eyelid surgeies can be combined with a face and neck lift surgery to correct the problems in these areas and they can produce more effective results when needed. Superficial, fine lines, skin irregularities and skin quality problems, formations such as sun damage are not targeted by facelift surgeries. There are different treatments for these kinds of issues.

Combining facelift surgeries with other facial procedures is common. Operations such as browlifts/forehead lifts, eyelid procedures, facial fat injections are often combined with facelift surgeries. If the face lift surgeries are combined with one or more of these other procedures, the operation time will be prolonged. Since the variables can be numerous, it is not possible to talk about a single specific operation duration. Taking into account the aforementioned variable states, the duration of performing a facelift surgery may vary from 2 to 6 hours. The healing process is also affected by these factors. However, usually the patient can return to their daily life after a short period of time, while being careful about and paying attention to the aftercare instructions. 3 months may need to pass to be able to see the results of the surgery completely.

Changes in the face and neck created by face and neck lift surgeries are permanent. However, the effects of face and neck lift surgeries do not last forever. The preservation of the results of face and neck lift surgeries is related to aging. In addition, the responsibility of the patient in the preservation of the results is also important. Smoking, sun exposure, stress, and many other factors that accelerate aging, will have negative effects on the results in terms of conservation. In addition, intensive weight gain and loss can also have negative effects on the results of face and neck lift surgeries.
