Facelift after weight loss

Facelift surgery may not come to mind when it comes to weight loss. While a tummy tuck Turkey procedure or thigh lift are commonly performed procedures after a patient loses a significant amount of weight, facelift Turkey can help reduce the extra fat in the face and neck regions.

Eating a healthy diet that is rich in nutritious foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains and lean protein can help you ensure that you have the best possible results.

Techniques of rhytidectomy surgery in Turkey

There are various rhytidectomy surgery techniques—and the results vary greatly depending on the technique and the plastic surgeon.

Thread facelift Turkey

If you would like to avoid the nip and tuck of the surgery scalpel and restore a more youthful appearance, thread facelift in Turkey may be the right option for you. A thread facelift in Istanbul is a non-surgical, minimally invasive cosmetic surgery treatment that utilizes special suture threads to lift up sagging skin on the neck and face. Thread facelift is a less invasive alternative to a traditional facelift surgery. The treatment is less time-consuming and offers less downtime.

Mini facelift

A mini facelift, or mini rhytidectomy, is a facial cosmetic surgical technique designed to correct signs of aging using a shorter incision than a traditional facelift surgery. Also referred to as a short scar facelift, or short scar rhytidectomy, a mini facelift in Istanbul can be a viable option for patients seeking to resolve minimal to moderate neck skin laxity and jowling for a more rejuvenated appearance and less visible scarring. Our board-certified plastic surgeons are specialized in cosmetic surgery of the face and have an extensive understanding of facial structure to achieve a natural outcome.

Lower facelift

A lower facelift only addresses problem areas on the lower third of the face, as the name suggests, such as deep wrinkles, sagging jowls—and excess skin along the chin and neck. Lower facelift in Turkey is designed to achieve an exquisitely contoured jawline. It can be combined with non-surgical treatments such as BOTOX and dermal fillers to complement your facial appearance.

Face and neck lift in Turkey

Facelift can be performed in conjunction with a neck lift surgery in Turkey to smooth out wrinkles, reduce excess skin—and give the face and neck a more revitalized appearance. Face and neck lift Turkey is a combination plastic surgery procedure designed to restore the youthful appearance of the entire face, neck and cheek area.

Facelift without surgery

While no other cosmetic surgery treatment will produce the results that are as dramatic and extensive as a surgical facelift would, many patients can still achieve significant facial transformation—without surgery. Nonsurgical facelift in Turkey uses cosmetic injectables and dermal fillers to smooth out fine lines, add volume to facial features—and to give the face a more revitalized and youthful appearance. If your aesthetic goals are fairly minimal, or if you simply don't want to go under the knife at this time, nonsurgical facelift in Istanbul can meet your aesthetic needs.  

Endoscopic Facelift Turkey surgery

Like a surgical facelift procedure, the endoscopic facelift treatment in Turkey aims to smooth out wrinkles and tighten and lift sagging in the face region. Telescopic instruments employed in a facelift endoscopic treatment are designed to tighten sagging facial muscles and remove fatty tissue—resulting in a firmer, more defined facial appearance. An endoscopic facelift, however, does not address problems with excess skin the same way a surgical facelift does.

How is a facelift done?

During a facelift procedure, performed under a general or “twilight” anesthetic, excess skin along the cheek and neck is scrupulously removed. The face and neck are then re-contoured to give the patient a more youthful look. Facelift incisions are hidden along the hairline and border of the ear to avoid noticeable scarring.

The plastic surgeon targets the lower one-third of the face and the upper neck. Facelift surgery duration is four to six hours and is commonly carried out in combination with a brow-lift for an extensive facial rejuvenation.

Many patients prefer to combine a facelift with a neck lift surgery to correct sagging neck and turkey neck under the chin. A neck lift is a plastic surgery procedure designed to correct turkey neck appearance—and reduce jowls—that add years to a person’s facial appearance.
