With age, some changes occur in the face. Muscle and skin sagging may occur in the kidney and neck region, especially due to reduced muscle tightness. The skin becomes drier and gets loose and loses shine, with more wrinkles and becomes saggy. The skin loses elasticity, as collagen production decreases. Particularly facial components which have long been exposed to the sun tend to grow older.
With a facelift procedure, tighter and smoother skin can rejuvenate your younger appearance.

Non-surgical Facelift
Many non-surgical facelifting devices have been developed through the latest technological advances. Your expectation and the actual situation are the most important factors in this area. HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) treatment is the most successful method with a single session. Although other methods should be used for multiple sessions, it is possible to see a great advance with only one session by HIFU technique.
It takes almost 1 hour and can easily be performed without any need for anaesthesia. The difference can be seen after a non-surgical facial elevation, but the patient must wait 30 to 45 days if the results are to be obtained. Its durability depends on the individual, but the achieved outcomes remain for 1-2 years in general.

Mini Facelift Surgery
If skin removal incisions are restricted to a specific part of the skin, they are referred to as Mini Facelifting. This procedure is typically advisable for those between 40 and 50 years old with too little excess skin around their mouths and kidneys. Recently, mini facelift surgery has become less popular with endoscopic midface lift procedures.

Midface Lift Surgery
The endoscopic lift is a process that lifts the cheeks, smooths nasal springs and pulls up the corners of your lips. It is possible with a little incision on the lower part of your eyes. The process is compatible with 40-55-year-old patients. It takes almost 2 hours and is performed under general anaesthesia.

Full Facelift
First, the ears are incised. A small incision under the chin is also made to remove excess fat and tighten the muscles. Tightening of the deep tissue from earliest incisions creates a sling effect below the neck. This type of facelift is ideal for those with slender skin, usually 55-60 years of age. It takes about 2 hours and is performed in general anaesthesia.

How is the Facelift procedure performed?
The hairline at the temples begins with an incision, goes around the ear and ends in the lower scalp. The soft tissues covering the muscles that make your skin saggy will lift and remove the excess skin. The deep discs are stretched around the mouth. It is done with general anaesthesia. Blepharoplasty or neck lifting procedures can also be performed at the same session that will last a total of 4 to 7 hours.

What is the Cost of a Facelift Surgery in Turkey?
When it comes to plastic surgery, Turkey is one of the most reliable countries. A large number of surgeries are performed every year due to its qualified medical staff, good outcomes and reasonable prices. The cost of plastic surgery depends on the needs and the anatomy of the patient. Fortunately, it is 50-60 per cent cheaper in Turkey relative to prices in Europe, thanks to Turkey’s medical staff and competitive prices.
