What are Skin Rejuvenation Treatments?
Our face is the messenger of everything. Every time we look into each other's eyes, it whispers almost all the information about us to the other person. Our joy, our sadness, our living conditions, our age, our weight... For all these reasons, women's faces are among the areas they are most meticulous about. Facial beauty has been a privilege that has been desired, tried to be achieved, and envied throughout history. Mini facelift is a practical and effective method developed to restore the lines on our face that bother us, change and transform with our age, to their former youth.
The most important factor is of course the effect of advancing age and the gravity we are exposed to over the years. In addition, our daily life habits can also cause our skin to age earlier than it should. Smoking and alcohol use, lack of sleep, stressful living conditions and unhealthy nutrition are the bad actors that play a role in premature aging of the skin.
Mini facelift surgery, which can be preferred by women over 40, is a method that can be recommended in cases where the effects of gravity begin to be felt with age, wrinkles around the eyes and lips increase, and sagging begins in the neck area.
It is a much simpler operation compared to traditional facelift surgery. Since it is a method that does not touch the muscle tissue under the skin and only tightens the skin to achieve rejuvenation, it is a mini procedure compared to traditional facelift surgery. In addition, in this operation, large incisions are not made as in traditional surgery, excess skin is pulled to the hair roots and areas that will be anatomically hidden in the lines on the face with small incisions. Since it is done with small incisions, the recovery period after the procedure is much more comfortable and short.
It is performed based on the principle of tightening the fat, muscle and nerve tissues on the face with the suspension method. Sagging areas on the face are tightened, excess skin is removed if there is any, and it is closed by stitching from the invisible areas of the face.
It addresses the face, including the eye area, jawline and even the neck. It corrects sagging in the lower and upper eyelids, tightens the hollows under the eyes and, if necessary, eliminates sagging in the neck. In cases of neck sagging caused by excess weight, excess fat is removed and a thinning is achieved in the area.
Mini facelift surgery promises significant differences after the procedure compared to traditional facelift surgery. While it is necessary to stay in bandages and stay away from social life for weeks after traditional facelift surgery; the recovery period after surgery is quite short in mini facelift surgery. It is sufficient for the patient to stay in the hospital for the first day. He/she is discharged the next day and can return to his/her daily life with simple and practical bandages. It is recommended to renew these bandages for 3-4 days. Bruising and swelling that will occur on the face after the surgery will disappear within a week.
In mini facelift, incisions are usually made from the scalp. Incisions that need to be made outside the scalp are hidden within the anatomical lines on the face. Therefore, there is no visible scar when viewed from the outside. Since it is done without intervening in the muscle tissue under the skin, only by stretching the skin from the surface, possible scars are extremely light.
