Face Lift in Turkey

All facelift surgeries are done by plastic surgeons only and in a hospital under general anesthesia. The surgeons make an incision, and the size of this incision changes depending on the type of the facelift (mini facelift or traditional facelift). After making the incision, they remove the excess skin, tighten the face by pulling the skin up and close the incisions with sutures or special skin adhesives.

After the surgery, you stay in the hospital for two days. During the recovery period in the hospital, the drainage tube placed in your skin to collect blood and fluids stays with you, and then they remove it before you leave the hospital. They cover your entire head with a bandage after the surgery, and before you go home, they replace it with an elastic one. They recommend you to keep it for a couple of days until your follow-up appointment.  

What Are The Other Facelift Procedures?

Traditional facelift surgery is the most common technique to improve the signs of aging, but sometimes, other procedures can be enough for the patient’s face. There are several facelift procedures, and most of them require local anesthesia. The most common facelift procedures are these:

• Mini facelift

• One stitch facelift

• Liquid facelift

• Lower facelift

• Vampire facelift

• Thread facelift

• HiFu facelift

• 8 point facelift

• Laser facelift

• Stem cell facelift

• Sono Bello facelift

• CACI facelift

• Natural facelift

• Madonna facelift

• Botox facelift

The incisions are made behind your ears and stay hidden in the line. Because of that, they are not visible, and good wound care provides little or no visible scars. 

Recovery After Facelift

You will take antibiotics for five days at least. They remove your sutures within ten days, and you need to wear special wound creams suggested by your doctor during this period.  

After facelift surgery, you will most likely experience bruising, swelling, tightness, and numbness. 

Tightness and numbness will disappear within a week, and bruising and swelling may last for a month.
