Facelift (Rhytidectomy) Surgery


Reasons of Skin Aging

The skin, which is constantly exposed to external factors is the largest organ of the body and it ages more easily than other organs.
According to the results obtained from researches, the most important factor in skin aging are environmental factors. Many factors such as exhaust fumes, factory fumes, gaseous emissions from environmental wastes, intensive work tempo, and inactive life play a major role in skin aging. Because of this, the skin of people living in large, crowded cities are aging faster and more aggressively than peoples living in natural environments.
Another factor in skin aging are genetic factors. The average age of skin aging can be determined by examining the family skin structure.

What is Facelift (Rhytidectomy)?

Human skin begins to sag and deform with the effect of gravity and physical factors over time.
Under the influence of aging, the subcutaneous fat tissue is reduced, and wrinkles appear on the face.
Although the face looks like a single part, it is formed by the combination of parts in many different structures.
  • forehead area
  • brows area
  • area around the eyes
  • temples
  • cheeks
  • chin
  • neck
In all these areas, aging, sagging and deformation can occur. Surgical interventions used to solve these problems and rejuvenate the skin are called facelift (rhytidectomy).

Facelift Surgery

Share your expectations and wishes from facelift surgery and the areas where you are not satisfied with your face with your plastic surgeon.
There is no age limit for facelift surgery, but it is usually recommended for people over 50 years of age.
Younger people are advised to apply mini-facelift surgery or rejuvenating with dermal fillers.
Areas that are aged, hang, or deformed are identified. The skin texture in these areas is removed, and the sagging connective tissues beneath the skin are hung upwards.
If the forehead region is to be intervened, an incision is made from the scalp area and the forehead and eyebrows are hung upwards. So, the incision is hidden in the hair.
For the sagging of the area where the cheekbone is located, the incision is made from the area where the eye bags are located because the tissue in this area is loose. The mid-face area is hung upwards by entering through the eye-bag area.
When intervention in the chin and neck region is required, incisions are made behind the ear regions. Chin and neck area is stretched with incisions made from the back of the ears, so small scars that may be formed are hidden behind the ears.
It can also be intervened to the neck area by making the incision from the area under the chin.
In all these interventions, the tissues are released and reattached to their original points.
In addition, the surgical intervention is definitely combined with other techniques. For example, if there is a decrease in the fat tissue, deficiencies in the area are completed with the fat tissue taken from the person or with some dermal fillers.
Sometimes wrinkles can occur due to excessive movement of the muscles in the face. To prevent these wrinkles, Botox, which is very popular recently in the face rejuvenation operations, can be added to the facelift surgery.

What Is Cataract?

Cataract is the opacity of the lens by losing its transparency. The eye has an optical structure and the images coming from the external environment are first refracted through the cornea, which is the transparent layer on the outermost part of the eye, and then through the lens layer inside the eye, and thus it is clearly transmitted to the visual center. It causes the images to be blurred and not transmitted to the center of vision clearly by adding the lens formed in the lens. Sometimes cataracts become so intense that people cannot see anything except to feel the light. People who develop cataracts see it as if they are looking through a misty or frosted glass.

Periodontology (Gum Disease)

In cases where oral care is inadequate, a bacterial plaque that is a rich, soft, sticky layer of microorganisms on the tooth surface accumulates. This layer causes gingivitis with tooth decay. Healthy gums are pale pink in color, with orange peel appearance and hardness. When the gums lose their health they are swollen, red, bleeding and moving. If the treatment is delayed, the tooth stones accumulate causing the bone surrounding the tooth to erase. The gums start to pull out. This condition is both sensitive to heat changes and causes aesthetic problems as well as oral odor and even dental inflammation in very advanced conditions. If they go further, tooth loss starts.
