Facelift

A facelift, medically known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to correct sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and volume loss caused by aging. During the operation, excess skin on the face and neck is removed, while the underlying muscles and tissues are reshaped to achieve a younger and more dynamic appearance.

As a result, it eliminates the tired and sunken facial expression, giving you a fresh and vibrant look. Since a facelift addresses not only the skin surface but also the deeper structures beneath the skin, it delivers long-lasting and natural results.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Facelift Surgery?

Facelift surgery is generally suitable for middle-aged and older individuals. The procedure is especially beneficial for those who:

Have deep nasolabial folds (lines running from the nose to the mouth).

Experience sagging in the face and jawline.

Have looseness and wrinkles in the neck area.

Wish to achieve a younger and more refreshed appearance.

Are in good overall health and suitable for surgery.

Remember, facelift surgery delivers the best results when performed before the skin completely loses its elasticity.

What Are the Different Facelift Techniques?

Facelift surgery can be performed using various techniques depending on the patient’s needs and facial structure:

Mini Facelift
Ideal for correcting mild sagging in the lower face. Since it requires smaller incisions, the recovery process is typically shorter.

Full Facelift (Traditional Rhytidectomy)
Best suited for addressing significant sagging in the mid-face, lower face, and neck. This comprehensive procedure repositions deeper tissues and removes excess skin for long-lasting results.

Mid-Facelift
Primarily focuses on lifting and tightening sagging in the cheeks and around the nasolabial folds (lines running from the nose to the mouth).

How Is a Facelift Performed?

At İsveç Klinik, facelift surgery is carried out under general anesthesia. The procedure typically lasts between 2 to 5 hours, depending on the chosen technique.

Our surgeon makes discreet incisions hidden along the hairline or the natural folds in front of the ears, ensuring that scars remain barely noticeable after healing. Excess skin is removed, while the underlying muscles and connective tissues are reshaped and tightened.

As a result, your face achieves a younger, firmer, and naturally rejuvenated appearance.

Recovery Process and Results

In the first few days after surgery, you may experience mild swelling and bruising; however, this is completely normal and subsides significantly within a few weeks. Most of our patients are able to return to their daily routines within 1–2 weeks.

The final results become more noticeable between 6 months to 1 year, as the face fully settles into its new form. Facelift surgery provides long-lasting results, offering you a refreshed appearance and a lasting sense of youth.

Facelift Surgery Steps

During a facelift procedure, we first conduct a detailed facial analysis and planning. Next, using the selected surgical technique, we achieve the desired youthful and dynamic appearance.

During the surgery, facial and neck muscles are reshaped, excess skin is removed, and everything is positioned to harmonize with your natural facial contours. For this procedure, we typically use either mini facelift or full facelift techniques.

What Is the Latest Technique in Facelift Surgery?

One of the newest approaches in facelift surgery is the endoscopic technique. This minimally invasive method allows for less trauma and a faster recovery, while still achieving effective and natural-looking results.
