Here are key steps to follow as you prepare for this cosmetic surgery:
Before the surgery begins, the patient is prepared in the operating room. This usually includes cleaning the face and possibly marking the skin to guide incisions. Anesthesia is administered, which is typically local anesthesia with sedation, but it can also be general anesthesia, depending on the case.
The surgeon makes small incisions that are typically located around the ears and possibly within the hairline. These incisions are designed to be as inconspicuous as possible, often following the natural contours of the ear and hairline to minimize visible scarring.
Through these incisions, the surgeon may access the SMAS layer (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System), which is the layer of tissue overlying the facial muscles. The SMAS can be lifted, tightened, or repositioned to improve the contour of the face. Excess skin is gently pulled upward and/or backward, and any excess skin is trimmed away. This step helps to smooth out wrinkles and sagging skin.
Once the desired adjustment is achieved, the surgeon closes the incisions with sutures. After the surgery is completed, the patient is moved to a recovery area.
Day 1-2 | - Mild to moderate discomfort, managed with prescribed pain medication. - Swelling and bruising start to appear. - Rest with head elevated to minimize swelling. - Limited facial movements recommended. |
---|---|
Day 3-7 | - Swelling and bruising peak and then gradually start to subside. - Sutures may be removed, if non-dissolvable. - Gradual return to light daily activities. - Avoid strenuous activities. |
Week 2 | - Significant reduction in swelling and bruising. - Continue to avoid heavy lifting and vigorous exercise. |
Weeks 3-4 | - Nearly all normal activities can be resumed. - Avoid direct sun exposure to incision areas. |
Month 2+ | - Full healing of tissues, though subtle changes may continue for several months. - Final results become more apparent. |
Unlike a traditional face lift in Turkey, a Mini Facelift involves smaller incisions, usually around the ears, leading to less scarring and a quicker recovery. It primarily addresses mild to moderate aging signs in the lower face, whereas a traditional facelift is more comprehensive, targeting more extensive aging signs across the entire face and neck.
In Turkey, a mini facelift takes about 2-3 hours, depending on the extent of the changes being made and whether additional procedures are being performed simultaneously.
Recovery time is generally shorter compared to a traditional facelift. Most patients can return to work and normal activities within 1-2 weeks. However, full recovery and the final results may take several weeks to become fully apparent.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks such as infection, bleeding, scarring, and risks associated with anesthesia. Specific risks related to Mini Facelifts include nerve injury and dissatisfaction with the results.
Choosing a qualified and experienced surgeon minimizes these risks. Our clinic provides the best specialists in the field so that you have the safest procedures and the most natural-looking results.
The results of a facelift procedure can last several years, but they do not stop the aging process. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and skincare routine can help prolong the results.
Yes, a Mini Facelift can indeed be combined with other procedures in Turkey. Common combinations include:
While all surgeries leave scars, the incisions for a Mini Facelift are strategically placed around the ears and possibly within the hairline, making them less noticeable. Over time, these scars typically fade and become even less visible.
