Facelift

Facelift surgery, also known as rhytidectomy, is a transformative cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the face and neck, effectively addressing signs of aging such as sagging skin, deep creases, and loss of facial volume. At Health Guidance Antalya, we are committed to providing you with exceptional care and results through our state-of-the-art facelift services.

Understanding Facelift Surgery

A facelift is a surgical procedure that aims to lift and tighten the underlying muscles and tissues of the face. By removing excess skin and fat, our skilled surgeons can restore a more youthful contour to your facial structure. This procedure is particularly effective for individuals who have experienced significant aging changes, including drooping jowls, sagging cheeks, and deep nasolabial folds.

Who is an Ideal Candidate?

The best candidates for facelift surgery are generally healthy individuals aged 35 and older who exhibit visible signs of aging on their faces. Good candidates typically have:

High elasticity in their skin: This allows for better results post-surgery.
Realistic expectations: Candidates should understand the potential outcomes and limitations of the procedure.
Non-smokers: Smoking can interfere with healing and compromise results.

The Facelift Procedure

Our facelift procedure typically involves the following steps:

Consultation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where we assess your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and determine the most suitable technique for you.
Anesthesia: On the day of surgery, you will receive either local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Incisions: The surgeon will make incisions that are strategically placed along the hairline and around the ears to minimize visible scarring. The length and placement of these incisions depend on the extent of correction required.
Tissue Repositioning: The underlying facial tissues are lifted and repositioned. Excess skin is trimmed away, and the remaining skin is carefully re-draped for a natural appearance.
Closure: The incisions are closed with sutures or staples, and bandages may be applied to support healing.

Recovery Process

Post-surgery, you will spend approximately two days in the hospital for monitoring and initial recovery. During this time, our dedicated medical staff will provide you with personalized care to ensure a smooth healing process.

Initial Recovery: Expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort during the first few days. Pain management will be provided as needed.
Follow-Up Care: We will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress and remove sutures if necessary.
Returning to Normal Activities: Most patients can resume normal activities within two weeks; however, it is advisable to avoid strenuous exercise for several weeks post-surgery.

Long-Term Results

The results of a facelift can last anywhere from five to ten years, depending on various factors including age, skin quality, lifestyle choices, and skincare routines. While a facelift cannot stop the aging process entirely, it significantly enhances your appearance by creating a more youthful look.

Hospital Stay

Patients typically require only two night of hospitalization after the procedure. This allows our medical team to monitor your recovery closely and address any immediate concerns post-surgery.
