Face Lift in Antalya in Turkey

A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that involves tightening and repositioning the skin and underlying tissues of the face to improve the appearance of sagging or wrinkles. There are several techniques that can be used to perform a facelift, and the specific technique chosen will depend on the individual's specific needs and goals.

One common technique is the traditional facelift, which involves making an incision along the hairline at the temples, extending down in front of the ear and then continuing behind the ear. The skin is then lifted and the underlying tissues are tightened and repositioned to create a more youthful appearance. This technique is generally effective at improving the appearance of sagging in the mid-face, neck, and jowls.

Another technique is the minimal incision facelift, which involves making smaller incisions and using specialized instruments to lift and reposition the skin and underlying tissues. This technique can be used to address specific areas of the face, such as the mid-face or neck, and is often less invasive than a traditional facelift.

A third technique is the endoscopic facelift, which involves making small incisions and using an endoscope, a thin tube with a light and camera attached, to visualize and lift the underlying tissues. This technique is less invasive than a traditional facelift and may have a shorter recovery time.

In general, there are several different techniques that can be used to perform a facelift, and the specific technique chosen will depend on the individual's specific needs and goals. It is important to discuss all available options with a qualified plastic surgeon to determine the best approach for achieving the desired results.

Traditional facelifts, in Dr Demir’s opinion, lack artistic vision. They merely take sagging skin and stretch it over the cheeks. That’s why they look "tight and unnatural."

Dr. Demir has breathed art into facelifts, elevating the procedure to a new plane where you "don’t look different" you become "a more natural, youthful and refined version of yourself."

Indications

With age, our faces loose their "three-dimensional" quality and begin to lack the depth of a more youthful appearance.

By the mid to late 30’s, one begins to see evidence of the inevitable pull of gravity on the soft tissue of the cheeks. This sagging tissue falls inward, towards the nose and chin, creating the "nasolabial fold", the "jowls" and the "turkey neck". This process thins out the face making the cheeks "more angular" and the entire face begins to take on a "relatively" more masculine appearance.

Recovery

After surgery, Dr. Demir requires you to stay in an aftercare facility for 2 nights and recommends that you rest for an additional week thereafter. Makeup can usually be applied 8 days after the procedure at which time you can slowly resume limited activity.

"We have patients flying from all over the world that return home10 days after the surgery."

Full activity, without restrictions, can usually be resumed after 1 month.
