Face Lift Surgery
Face lift surgery is an aesthetic surgical procedure to remove skin sagging and wrinkles. This surgery tightens the sagging skin and muscles in the lower part of the face, making the face look younger and fresher. Facelift surgery is an effective option to remove sagging and wrinkles in the face area.
How is Face Lift Performed?
Facelift surgery usually takes a few hours and is usually performed under sedation anesthesia or general anesthesia. The procedure is performed with incisions and stitches to tighten facial muscles and tissues, starting with incisions on the skin. After the skin is closed, the procedure is complete.
Healing Process
The recovery process after facelift surgery usually takes 1-2 weeks, and during this time swelling, bruising and mild pain may occur.
What To Do
- For the first few days, you can use an ice pack to reduce swelling by applying cold to your face.
- After the procedure, you should be protected from sunlight for a certain period of time. If possible, you can wear a hat or use a sunscreen to avoid sun exposure.
What You Should Avoid
- You should avoid heavy exercise or excessive physical activity for the first few days.
- For the first few days, you should avoid toxic substances such as alcohol and cigarettes. These substances can adversely affect the healing process.
- You should not rub your face for the first few days. The area may be sensitive after the procedure.
- After the procedure, you should avoid exposure to water such as pool, sea and jacuzzi for a certain period of time. Water can increase the risk of infection of the treated area and delay the healing process.
- You should not wear make-up for a certain period of time after the procedure. Due to the sensitivity of the treated area, wearing make-up can increase the risk of infection.
