A facelift is a special surgery performed to correct sagging of the face and restore a youthful appearance to the face. To successfully perform a facelift, it is important to understand how the face ages. All areas of the face age in a connected manner.

The above-mentioned aesthetic problems not only negatively affect the appearance of the face, but can also undermine a person’s self-confidence. With the help of a surgery known as a facelift, it is possible to correct these problems and achieve a more youthful appearance without changing a person’s facial features.
A facelift is a facial rejuvenation surgery performed to reshape the deep tissues of the face, move sagging areas into an ideal position, and remove excess skin. This surgery can give the face a much more youthful, dynamic, and attractive appearance. Facelift surgery is also known to the public by its English name, facelift.
Why is a face lift performed?
Facelift surgery can be performed for the following purposes:
- Elimination of sagging face.
- Elimination of wrinkles on the face.
- Removal of expression wrinkles.
- Creation of an attractive and youthful appearance of the face.
- Elimination of a tired appearance of the face.
Facelift surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Sterile conditions are created to prevent possible infection during the surgery. Facelift surgery is a very delicate process and requires experience in this field. During the surgery, the doctor carefully performs all the procedures and positions the facial tissues according to the plan he made before the surgery. During the facelift surgery, the shape of the face is changed by making incisions in strategic areas. Sagging tissues are placed in pre-planned ideal positions and excess skin is removed. Using special techniques, the facial skin is tightened without damaging the skin tissue. The skin tissue is fixed with invisible stitches on the scalp or behind the ear. In this way, the desired surgical appearance is successfully achieved in the facial area.
