Facelift is a cosmetic procedure performed to correct sagging skin and signs of aging in the face. In a facelift procedure, the skin and muscle tissues on the face and neck are lifted and tightened, and any excess skin is removed. Facial aesthetics, on the other hand, refers to a series of procedures performed to correct cosmetic problems in specific areas of the face. Facial aesthetics is not limited to facelifts and can involve surgeries on different parts of the face, such as the nose, lips, and chin. These procedures help enhance facial features and make the face look more aesthetically pleasing.
Facelift and facial aesthetics procedures are typically performed by plastic surgeons. A facelift is typically performed through a small incision around the ear, and the skin and muscle tissues are lifted and tightened, and any excess skin is removed. Facial aesthetics procedures use various surgical techniques to improve facial features and enhance the overall aesthetic of the face. The specific procedures used in each surgery depend on the type of surgery and the patient's needs, so a detailed consultation is necessary.
Facelift and facial aesthetics procedures are typically recommended for people between the ages of 30 to 60, but the age range may vary from person to person. In most cases, the age range, health condition, skin type, and expectations of the patient are considered before surgery. Patients who undergo surgery must have a healthy body mass index and be in good overall health.
Patients may experience various symptoms during the recovery process following facelift or facial aesthetics surgery. In the first few days following surgery, there may be swelling, bruising, and minor discomfort. It is important to rest and take it easy during this time. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities for at least one week following surgery. Most patients can return to work and normal activities 10-14 days after surgery. It is important to have follow-up appointments with a surgeon or medical professional to monitor the healing process. Full recovery time depends on the type of surgery and the patient's overall health.
