In forehead and face lift operations, which are generally performed on men and women over the age of 40, sagging and wrinkles due to aging are eliminated. To achieve this, the skin must not lose its elasticity. With this application, prominent lines in the forehead, mouth and nose areas are eliminated, and sagging in the eyelids, cheeks and chin contour is eliminated. In cases of aging-related displacements, such as fatty tissue shifting from the cheekbones to the cheeks, the tissues are moved to their original places or methods such as fat injections and silicone prostheses are applied.
How is the Operation Performed?
The scope of the face lift operation is determined according to personal needs and expectations. In the operation performed under general anesthesia, incisions are made on the scalp, behind the ear and at the junction of the ear and cheek. In this way, the scars are hidden.
In the forehead lift operation, a thin incision is made at the scalp line where the forehead area and the hair meet, and the skin is tightened. After the excess skin is cut and removed, the skin is tautly stitched to the scalp and
the operation is completed.
Treatment Process
After the surgery, a head bandage is applied so that the eyes, nose and mouth are left open, and cold weather is applied to the cheeks
br /> pads are placed. Silicone tubes can be placed to prevent blood accumulation in the tissue and are removed within two
days. The bandages are completely removed within 3 days, and the stitches are removed within 5-7 days. During this process
the hair can be washed.
The patient stands up from the second day and returns to his normal
life after a week, when the swelling subsides. Heavy exercises and excessive sunlight should be avoided for two months.
It is important not to take a shower for a certain period of time and not to wash with very hot water for 1 week after the shower is allowed.
It is important not to force the stitches, to dress, not to sleep face down, and not to tilt the head forward.
