Face Lift

Facelift surgery consists of incisions on specific spots of the aging skin, pulling and stretching this skin upwards from the sides of the face, and suturing it to its new location. As with any surgery, face lifts have key considerations. One of the most important issues is preserving the facial nerve, which is responsible for the movement of face muscles. This nerve branches into thinner nerves in both sides of the face.Face lift cannot stop the aging. However, this procedure can ‘turn the clock back’ and rejuvenate the face. The aging clock can be turned back but will continue to work. Some patients require a second surgery after 7-15 years, while most patients do not require a second facelift.Cosmetic procedures usually aim to restore a more youthful appearance by correcting the signs of aging, such as removing excess fat, stretching muscles, and stretching the skin of the face and neck.It is possible to combine facelifts with other surgical interventions, such as forehead lift, or cosmetic eyelid or nose surgeries.It is not advisable to combine cosmetic nose and eyelid surgeries as eyelids are likely to swell after nose jobs, which can cause ruptures in the sutures.
