What is a face lift?

As the years go by, the wonderful contours of your face will naturally lose their beauty. It’s an unpleasant process, but it’s inevitable!

Once you’re over fifty, your skin will start to sag, jowls will suddenly appear and holes will appear in your cheeks… In short, all your facial features will start to curve. Faced with such an overwhelming situation, there is a glimmer of hope: a facelift in Turkey

Definition

A face lift or cervico-facial lift is a surgical operation designed to repair the contours of the face that have been damaged by time. In practical terms, a facelift aims to correct sagging skin, jowl and cheek tissue, facial features and ageing of the face and neck.

A facelift will also considerably reduce wrinkles and other unsightly marks. It’s clear, then, that such an operation is motivated by the natural ageing of your body, particularly as you approach your fifties.

In this respect, it should be noted that facelifts can be performed on both men and women. There are several types of facelift. Sometimes, the operation may concern just one part of your body, or the whole body:

1- A forehead lift can be performed to remove the horizontal wrinkles that appear on the forehead or between the eyebrows (frown lines).

2- A temporal facelift can be performed to correct sagging tissue at the temples, as well as crow’s feet wrinkles (outer corners of the eyelids).

3- This procedure is also known as a mini-facelift and aims to rejuvenate the appearance of the face by treating signs of ageing such as sagging skin, wrinkles and folds.

When should it be done?

It should be noted that there is no fixed age for a facelift. The reasons for a facelift will naturally differ from one patient to another. But generally speaking, the best age to consider having a facelift is 40.

According to statistics, the majority of patients requiring this type of surgery are aged between 45 and 65. People with HIV are eligible for this surgery.

It is around this age that the signs of ageing begin to appear: weakening of the tissues and oval of the face, appearance of wrinkles, nano-genian furrows, jowls and holes on the cheeks, fatty neck, etc. The expected result is to rejuvenate the skin by at least 10 years.

How is the face lift operation carried out?

Cosmetic surgery of this kind requires a great deal of precision and tact. Most face lifts are performed under local or general anaesthetic. The cosmetic surgeon may therefore request the presence of an anaesthetist. In reality, each cosmetic surgeon has his or her own working method.

But beyond the different methods applied by each specialist, note that the operation is performed through an incision. In order to conceal the scars as much as possible, the incision starts at the temple and runs in front of the ear.

Next, another incision will be made in front of the earlobe and behind it, finishing at the nape of the neck. The surgeon will then lift the skin and work under the muscles to tighten the tissues.

Depending on the desired objective, the areas to be tightened may be both cutaneous and muscular.

Finally, remember that the operation takes an average of 2 to 3 hours. After the facelift, you will need to stay in hospital for between 24 and 48 hours. For a period of about 3 weeks, you should also avoid any activity requiring considerable physical effort.

You should also rest for a week, without working. Your surgeon will remove the threads between the ^7th and ^15th day after the operation.

Risks, complications and side-effects

There may be some rare risks during a facelift:

Where are the best countries to have a cheap facelift?

When it comes to plastic surgery, medical tourism is a serious option to consider because of the exorbitant prices offered in Europe. What’s more, some foreign countries have renowned specialists who are highly skilled in facelift surgery.

The best foreign countries in this field today are Turkey and Tunisia. Find out why these two countries are currently the best destinations..

A facelift can also be performed on HIV-infected patients. Cervico-facial lifting for HIV-positive patients is carried out by experienced doctors in a specially dedicated, sterile operating theatre. However, the cost of the operation remains higher because the staff are over-equipped during the operation. And after the operation, all the tools are thrown away.

Conclusion

In short, a facelift is a surgical operation that allows you to regain your beauty and a more youthful appearance by giving your face a new lease of life. You can expect to look about 10 years younger.

The truth is, however, that a badly performed facelift operation can have irreversible consequences: infection, nerve damage, facial paralysis and so on. It is therefore essential to seek out a surgeon who is competent and legally authorised to carry out such an operation (registered with the Medical Council).

Finally, if you choose to go abroad, it is strongly recommended that you have your facelift done in specialist clinics with a worldwide reputation.
