Who can undergo facelift surgery?

Facelift surgery may be suitable for men and women over the age of 40 when the skin of the face and neck has started to sag but still retains some elasticity.

The face is the area where the signs of aging are first noticed. Healthy nutrition, regular sleep, exercise, sun protection, avoiding smoking and alcohol and good genetics may slow down aging, but they cannot stop it completely.

Well-planned plastic surgery procedures can help a person age more softly and gracefully. Facelift surgery is one of the leading procedures for facial rejuvenation. The aim is to slow down and partially reverse the visible effects of aging without making the person look unnatural.

Facelift techniques are chosen according to the needs of the patient. In some cases, the procedure may be combined with neck lift, eyelid surgery, brow lift, fat injection or skin rejuvenation procedures for a more balanced result.

Is facelift surgery permanent?

A facelift does not stop the aging process, but it can provide a long-lasting rejuvenating effect. The patient continues to age naturally after surgery, usually from a younger-looking starting point.

Can facelift surgery be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Depending on the patient, a facelift may be combined with neck lift, eyelid surgery, brow lift or fat grafting to support overall facial harmony.

What happens after surgery?

Recovery varies according to the extent of surgery. Swelling, bruising and a feeling of tightness are expected in the early period.

• Patients are usually encouraged to rest and protect the face in the first days after surgery.
• Swelling and bruising gradually decrease over time.
• Postoperative controls are important for monitoring healing.
• Final results become more apparent as tissues settle and swelling subsides.
