The skin belongs to the integumentary system, which provides several functions: sensory communication, protection of our organism, regulation of body temperature and also production of vitamin D, essential for the proper development of osteogenesis. Wrapping the whole body, the skin occupies 16% of our total weight. It is made up of three layers; epidermis, dermis and hypodermis, and is composed of water, proteins, fat and mineral salts.
Epidermis role is protecting water reserves to ensure good hydration of the skin. With age, ceramides become less functional, hydration gradually decreases and cells are renewed less and less. The dermal-epidermal junction, also called the epidermal basement membrane, loses its natural undulations, which reduces exchanges between skin compartments.
Other changes triggered in the dermis are manifested by a decrease in collagen and elastin production, hyaluronic acid decrease, and also by compactness loss of the extra-cellular matrix. All these mutations are associated with aging process which continually promotes skin slackening and the appearance of wrinkles.The face, our first interface of communication with others, undergoes like all other body organs the unsightly consequences of aging.

With age, facial skin aging process finds the right conditions to generate many unsightly blemishes: cheekbones loosen and collapse, expression lines become profoundly deep, lower cheeks appear and hollow appears in cheeks center. The facelift is performed from the forties onwards.Turkish plastic surgeons will inquire about patient’s age and medical records. They will also seek to know whether patients are heavy smokers or not. They will then examine the face to determine skin characteristics. The facelift realized in Turkey offers convincing results that will turn patients 10 years younger.
There are four categories of facelift surgeries:
Cervico facial lift
This operation is frequently performed by Turkish plastic surgeons. It consists of treating face and neck aging. The affected area is located between the temples and the jowls.
Temporal lift

Its results appear on eyes and cheekbones shape. This technique is called mask-lift. Face shape is completely changed as a result of a morphological transformation. This procedure is rarely requested by our patients.

There are multiple methods to perform facelift. The surgical solutions are numerous and diversified. However, basic principles remain the same. The surgeon makes incisions around ear edges. These incisions will be completely hidden by hair.Then, he removes facial skin and carefully retightens it in order to repair skin texture. The skin will take on a better shape created by the muscular mobilization. Then, the surgeon removes excess skin and makes sutures closing incisions.
Facelift Turkey : post-surgery
Patients are allowed to leave clinic one to two days after facelift Turkey. The length of hospitalization depends on the importance of the performed procedures. Patients should rest well for the first ten days following face and neck lift in Turkey.During the convalescence period, they must avoid any kinds of heavy physical effort. The appearance of edema accompanied by some bruising is inevitable. This should not frighten patients, as it is a completely normal reaction that occurs after all surgical procedures.The bruising and swelling will be gone within a month. It is very likely that one will feel some pain in the back of his ears. Such pain will be accompanied by some unpleasant sensations. Patients will also notice that their ears and cheeks have become less sensitive. All these symptoms are temporary. They will eventually disappear.
The results of facelift Turkey last up to ten years. It is preferable to undergo it before the sixties. However, we draw our patients' attention to the fact that facelift can significantly enhance their facial appearances and thus allows them to regain self confidence.
