A facelift, or rhytidectomy, works to eliminate the premature signs of aging by tightening the skin’s tissues and trimming excess skin. Facelift surgery is beneficial for those looking to achieve younger-looking skin and improve self-confidence.
It is a surgical operation performed to treat undesirable changes, such as saggy and wrinkles due to ageing. It is usually applied after the ages of 45-50. In order to gain a fresher and more attractive look, the operation can be accompanied with eyelid surgery, fat injection, skin peeling, laser and botox etc.
Patients above 45 who complain about the undesirable changes on their face due to ageing and who don’t have any conditions or disorders that would prevent them from undergoing anaesthesia can have face lift.

The skin covering the neck and the face is lifted, and SMAS, which also includes our mimic muscles and gives the volume to our face, is reshaped in a 3-D volumetric way. Excessive skin tissue is removed to ensure a younger, fresher and more attractive look.

The following day the drains are removed and the patient is discharged. If the sutures on face are not degradable, they are removed on the seventh day.

Neck area is among the first areas to be influenced by weight gains and ageing. The double chin appearance and loosening in the neck area causes patients to look fatter and older than they actually are. In neck lifting procedures, the fat in the neck area is removed.
