We receive very good feedbacks for traditional facelift and Spider Web aesthetic procedures we use in our clinic. Spider Web technique is applied with the latest technology.  Spider Web aesthetic, also known as thread facelift, is more effective than traditional facelift technique and has many advantages thanks to shorter recovery period. As your face will have a tighter and younger look after thread facelift, this procedure has become the most preferred method of the recent years.

Your doctor will decide which facelift technique is suitable for you and continue with the operation accordingly.

After the Facelift Operation

When the facelift surgery is completed, there will be a loosely applied bandage on face and head. This bandaging is applied to minimize swelling and bruising. The drain under your bandage is placed to collect any possible excessive bleeding or exudate. It is crucial that you protect your face and not move your bandage. Once you are home, we advise you to leave the hospital with information about the procedures you need to follow. After the facelift surgery, recovery of the incisions, stabilization of reshaped lines and recovery of swelling will take a few weeks. Lifelong use of sunscreen lotions will help you to preserve your rejuvenated look by minimizing the damage caused by sunlight. In addition, a healthy lifestyle contributes to the long life of the results.
