What is a Facelift?

A facelift is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at improving visible signs of aging by tightening loose skin, reducing deep creases, and lifting the cheeks and jawline. It involves the removal of excess skin, repositioning of underlying tissues, and sometimes fat redistribution to restore the contours of the face. A facelift can address concerns such as sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and jowls, resulting in a more youthful, refreshed, and harmonious look.

At Estetik International, we specialize in facelift surgery, using advanced techniques to ensure results that look natural and enhance your features. Our personalized approach is designed to help you achieve a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance, enhancing your beauty without compromising on your natural expression.

What Problems Can a Facelift Solve?

A facelift in Istanbul can address various aesthetic concerns, including:

  • Sagging Skin: As we age, the skin begins to lose its elasticity, causing sagging around the jawline and cheeks. A facelift removes excess skin and tightens the underlying tissues to restore a smoother, firmer appearance.
  • Deep Wrinkles and Creases: A facelift smooths out deep wrinkles and lines around the mouth, nose, and chin, giving the face a more youthful and revitalized appearance.
  • Loss of Volume: Aging often results in a loss of volume in the cheeks and lower face. A facelift can restore this volume, helping to create more balanced and youthful contours.
  • Uneven Jawline: If the jawline has begun to droop or sag, a facelift can re-contour the lower face to restore definition and a youthful appearance.

Is a Facelift Right for You?

A facelift in Istanbul may be the perfect option if you:

  • Have sagging or loose skin around your cheeks or jawline: If you’re experiencing drooping skin and a loss of facial definition, a facelift can help restore a firm, youthful contour.
  • Are bothered by deep wrinkles and creases: If the aging process has caused noticeable lines and wrinkles, a facelift can smooth out these areas and rejuvenate your overall look.
  • Want a long-lasting solution for facial aging: A facelift provides long-lasting results by lifting and tightening the skin, helping you maintain a youthful appearance for years.
  • Are in good health with realistic expectations: Ideal candidates for facelift surgery are healthy individuals who have realistic expectations about the procedure’s results.

How is the Facelift Procedure Done?

The facelift procedure is carefully planned and executed to ensure the best possible results with minimal scarring. At Estetik International, we take a personalized approach to each surgery, ensuring that the technique used is tailored to your unique needs and aesthetic goals.

Step-by-Step Facelift Process:

  • Consultation and Planning: The first step is a thorough consultation with one of our expert surgeons. During this meeting, we will assess your facial structure, skin quality, and overall goals. Based on your concerns, we will develop a customized plan to restore your youthful appearance while ensuring a natural look.
  • Anesthesia: The procedure typically begins with the administration of anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable throughout the surgery. Depending on the complexity of the procedure, the anesthesia may be local with sedation or general anesthesia.
  • Making Incisions: For a facelift, the surgeon makes discreet incisions that follow the natural contours of your face. The incisions are usually made along the hairline, around the ears, and sometimes under the chin, where they will be least noticeable. The goal is to access the deeper layers of the skin while minimizing visible scarring.
  • Lifting and Tightening: Once the incisions are made, the underlying facial muscles and tissues are gently lifted and repositioned. Excess skin is removed, and fat may be redistributed to restore volume and enhance contours. This step helps smooth out deep wrinkles and tightens sagging skin around the cheeks, jawline, and neck.
  • Closing the Incisions: After the necessary adjustments are made, the incisions are closed with fine sutures. In many cases, the sutures dissolve on their own, and the incisions heal to become virtually invisible over time.
  • Recovery: Once the surgery is complete, you will be taken to a recovery area, where our medical team will monitor you as you wake up from anesthesia. We provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure your recovery is smooth and that you achieve the best possible results.

Important information!

  • Medical Evaluation: Provide a full medical history, including any medications, supplements, and previous surgeries.
  • Board Certification: Ensure your surgeon is board-certified in plastic surgery.
  • Experience and Expertise: Choose a surgeon with extensive experience in facial cosmetic surgery.
  • Avoid Certain Medications: Discontinue blood-thinning medications and supplements as advised, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and certain herbal supplements, to reduce the risk of bleeding.
  • Quit Smoking: Smoking can significantly impair healing and increase the risk of complications. It's recommended to stop smoking at least 4-6 weeks before surgery.
  • Limit Alcohol Consumption: Reduce or eliminate alcohol intake as it can interfere with the healing process.

  • The procedure usually begins with the administration of anesthesia. The options include general anesthesia or intravenous sedation. Your doctor will recommend the best choice for you.
  • Incisions are typically made in the hairline at the temples, continuing around the ear and ending in the lower scalp. The pattern of the incision and its length depend on the amount of change you desire and your surgeon's technique.
  • For a mini-facelift, the incisions may be shorter.
  • Once the incisions are made, the skin is lifted, and underlying tissue is repositioned. In some cases, deeper layers of the face and muscles are also lifted.
  • Fat may be sculpted or redistributed from the face, jowls, and neck.
  • Excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is re-draped over the newly repositioned contours of the face.
  • The incisions are closed with sutures or skin adhesives. The sutures may be dissolvable or may need to be removed after a few days.
  • The incision lines are generally well concealed within the natural contours of the face and ear, as well as in the hairline.

After the facelift surgery, you will enter a crucial recovery phase, these are the post procedure advices that you should follow for a better recovery:

  • Rest and Recovery: Ensure plenty of rest in the initial days post-surgery.
  • Keep your head elevated, even during sleep, to reduce swelling.
  • Applying cold compresses can help reduce swelling, but do not apply ice directly to your skin.
  • Keep the incision sites clean and dry.
  • Follow specific instructions given by your surgeon for cleaning and dressing the wounds.
  • Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and vigorous exercise for a period recommended by your surgeon (usually several weeks).
  • Minimize excessive facial movements and expressions to allow for healing.
  • Refrain from smoking and consuming alcohol, as these can impede the healing process.
