Facial Aesthetics

As people get older, the content and amount of collagen in tissues change. These changes show itself as loss of volume in the face. When this situation comes together with gravity, the appearance of old age occurs. Your skin reflects all the changes in aging under the skin like a fabric. And the elastic property of the skin decreases, then disappears and cannot tolerate volume changes as before. When all this is added to the deep wrinkles caused by our facial expressions, the sad and / or angry expression is added to the tired expression.

Face lift operation can be done in 3 different ways. Which of these techniques should be applied is judged by looking at the slackness of the cheek tissues, the degree of sagging, and the presence of wrinkles on the skin.

1- Classic face lift

Generally, it is preferred in people who have relaxation, dilation, sagging and wrinkle on the cheek skin. The skin is cut along the front border of the ear. The skin on the cheek is removed. The inner tissues of the cheek and the cheek skin are stretched, the sags are removed, the redundancies are removed. There is no visible trace since the surgery is performed by blindstitch and the cut is made from the anterior of the ear and inside of the ear.

2- Endoscopic face lift

This method is applied when if  the only problem is the sagging of the cheek tissues. Compared to the classical method, we can say that it is more appealing to a younger age group and can be easily applied even in the 30s. A 2 cm cut is put in the hairy area in the scalp in the temple, and the camera is placed inside the cut. All tissues of the temple and the cheek area are stripped of the bone from the floor. Afterwards, these tissues are fixed by pulling upwards. In this method, hidden stitches are used. The cuts are small, bloodless, so the recovery time is shorter than the classical method.

3- Endoscopic mid-face lift

We can also call as cheek-lifting surgery. It is intended to remove sagging cheeks. Cheeks hang together with; the skin, fat layer and muscles. Therefore, when this process is done by stretching the skin only, a temporary solution is created, the fat layer and the sagging of the muscles are only camouflaged and become active  in a short time. The upward stretching of the cheek muscles together with the fat layer and the sheath on the side of the cheek provides a permanent way of gaining the position of the cheek tissues in their youth.

Two techniques can be applied in some patients according to the criteria of slackness and sagging of the cheek tissues, and whether there are wrinkles on the skin.

Time marches on for everyone. It is not possible for us to stop that. It should be noted that the facelift does not stop the aging of the person. Aging will continue after the surgery despite everything. Face lift operation at this point makes people appear younger than his / her age, and you will notice a striking rejuvenation when your face get its normal appearance in the processes stated after the surgery.
