Face Lift: Revitalize Your Appearance and Turn Back Time
Overview
A face lift, or rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reduce the visible signs of aging in the face and neck. This surgery can address sagging skin, deep creases, and loss of muscle tone, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Our expert surgeons in Turkey utilize the latest techniques to ensure natural-looking results and a high level of patient satisfaction.
Procedure Options
- Traditional Face Lift: Involves making incisions around the ears, hairline, and sometimes under the chin to lift and tighten the underlying muscles and remove excess skin. This technique is ideal for individuals with significant sagging and aging concerns.
- Mini Face Lift: A less invasive option with shorter incisions, focusing on lifting the lower face and jawline. This procedure is suitable for younger patients or those with mild to moderate sagging.
- SMAS Face Lift: Focuses on the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) layer to provide a more comprehensive and long-lasting lift. This technique addresses deeper facial structures for a more natural outcome.
- Non-Surgical Face Lift: Uses injectable fillers, Botox, and other non-invasive treatments to lift and rejuvenate the face temporarily. This option is ideal for those seeking minor improvements without surgery.
Benefits:
- Reduces sagging and drooping skin
