Face and neck get older by moving downwards and losing volume.
If the problem is moving the solution is lifting and if necessary adding volume.
HOW DOES THE FACE GET OLD?
The most affected area from gravity and moving downwards are cheeks.
As the cheek moves downwards, it covers the contour of the jowl.
Fat tissue in the lower eyelid is necessary for the eye movements and the body restricts this fat with a septum.
Lower eyelid fat which does not move downwards protrudes.
When it moves downwards from the cheek, a hollow forms between the lower eyelid and cheek.
With the decrease in estrogen, bone and fat volume, subcutaneous support decreases.
Gesture, laying and sun damage is added to these factors and quality of the skin decreases by time?
TREATMENT?
OR MAKE-UP?
:
As we know how we get older, the procedures applied to solve these problems are called treatment and procedures used to cover the problems are called make-up.
In other words, face lifting and completing missing volume with fat injection are applied to increase skin quality.
Also, trying to provide tightness by filling without lifting the face is called make-up.
Fillers are also useful if they are applied in the right dose and method, but it should be noted that they are make-up.
FACE & NECK LIFT PROCEDURE:
The facelift is based on two factors.
First of them is lifting the face-up, and the other one is removal of the excess skin.
It is applied through two incisions, one of from the front of the ear to the hairy skin on forehead and the other one to the back of the ear.
The length of the incision varies depending on the needing of the patient.
On this incision line, a slight line is left, however visible scars rarely occur, it depends on the recovery process of the patient.
Many measures are taken to minimize the scar.
If the scars are visible, the decreasing method is applied.
There is a risk of nerve injury even though we haven’t seen except for the scar.
It may be temporary or permanent.
The facelift is a useful procedure in any case except for these two risks.
After the procedure, a mask with mouth, nose and eye openings are used for 2 weeks.
This kind of lifting is combined with a facelift.
Just mid-face lift can be applied without intervening in temporal area and neck.
The length of the process is depending on weight of the face and lifestyle, and it is the most long-lasting skin rejuvenation method.
