We can answer the question of what happns during the facelift by talking about 2 methods. Among the surgical methods performed in this area, two techniques stand out. One is the classical facelift surgery or mini facelift.

The other is endoscopic facelift surgery. In both methods, very thin incisions are made from certain parts of the faces of the people.

In the classical method, an incision is made from the front of the ear to the back of the ear, while in the endoscopic method, an incision is made from the area where the scalp is. Which technique will be preferred is decided according to the deformation of the person's face.

You will take antibiotics for five days at least. They remove your sutures within ten days, and you need to wear special wound creams suggested by your doctor during this period.



After facelift surgery, you will most likely experience bruising, swelling, tightness, and numbness.
Tightness and numbness will disappear within a week, and bruising and swelling may last for a month.

A facelift costs around $4000, while the cost changes depending on the technique. There are multiple facelift techniques such as liquid facelift (which uses dermal fillers), HiFu ( high intensity focused ultrasound facelift) facelift, threading facelifts, etc.

Facelift operation is often a practice that most people recover within 1 to 1.5 months. However, it will likely take 6 months or more for you to see the final result of the facelift. Everyone's healing process is different. Also, the better you take care of yourself, the faster you will heal.

If your face has aged, you can consider a face lift. While plenty of other procedures, can reduce the signs of aging on your face. However face lift is considered the most effective way to turn your age.



As with any elective surgery facelift has got the pros and cons:

Pros:

• It’s effective

• Can be combined with other surgeries

• Long-lasting results

Cons:

• It’s the longer recovery time

• Has surgical risks

When you come out of the anesthesia, you will feel some discomfort, but since you stay in the hospital for two days taking pills, the pain will leave you soon.

If you think that you will protect the face area from sunlight and that you will not get bored of wearing a face surgigal garment for a while, you can have a facelift in the summer season.

But often, cooler weather is preferred for this surgery, especially in winter.

Aging is an ongoing process. Although a facelift is a surgical procedure, its results also have a lifespan. The more you pay attention to your health, the more permanent your results will be.

In general, you can expect natural and effective results from facelift surgery. Of course, as in every aesthetic procedure, the results in face lift will vary from person to person.



The people who show the best effects of the procedure are those who have new wrinkles and sagging and have no loss of elasticity because their skin is young.

In addition, you should know that the procedure will not make you 15-20 years younger. In order to look young, there is a need for some changes in one's lifestyle.

The riskiest complication of facelift surgery is facial nerve damage. The chance is low, but if you experience nerve damage, the damage is not permanent.

The most common side effects are hematoma, mild bleeding, and infection.

The incisions are made behind your ears and stay hidden in the line. Because of that, they are not visible, and good wound care provides little or no visible scars.
