A facelift is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed in our clinic under local anesthesia with light sedation, typically taking approximately 3-4 hours to complete. The procedure is conducted on an outpatient basis, eliminating the need for a hospital stay. Following the procedure, patients are advised to wear a specialized compression garment for a duration of 2 days without removal.
This technique allows for customization based on each patient's unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. The procedure generally involves lifting the underlying tissue, tightening the underlying muscles, removing excess skin, and delicately repositioning the remaining skin using aesthetic sutures.
The primary motivation behind selecting facelift surgery is to address sagging and loosening of facial skin, regardless of gender or the influence of aging and external factors. With advancing age, individuals may experience skin laxity and sagging in the facial region, prompting the preference for facelift surgery as a preventive measure. While it is impractical to impose an age restriction for this surgical operation, it is generally suitable for almost everyone desiring such an intervention. Nonetheless, it is crucial to prioritize a consultation with a qualified physician to ensure that no underlying conditions would impede the procedure.
Dr. Akif Mehmetoglu specializes in this area and offers comprehensive consultations, allowing patients to openly discuss their concerns and dissatisfactions during the examination. Following the examination, if deformations such as skin laxity and sagging are identified and indicate the necessity for surgery, Dr. Mehmetoglu may determine that facelift surgery is the appropriate course of action.

A facelift, also referred to as rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgery that aims to restore a more youthful facial appearance. It can reduce sagging or folds of skin on the cheeks, jawline, and other areas in the face that changes shape due to aging.
As we age, our skin loses their elasticity and become looser. Fat deposits also decrease in some areas and increase in others. This leads to sagging and wrinkles. With a facelift, these problems can be addressed by lifting and tightening the sagging facial tissue. The procedure may involve removing excess skin that’s causing “jowls”, smoothing out wrinkles or folds, and tightening facial tissue. It can also have a rejuvenating effect on the areas below the eyes and the deep lines from the corners of the mouth to the sides of the nose.
It is important to bear in mind that a facelift is not a treatment for creases around the nose, superficial wrinkles, and irregularities in skin color. It also cannot stop the aging process or change your fundamental appearance.
Although there are newer and less invasive facial rejuvenation procedure, a surgical facelift is still one of the most popular today. This is because the procedure offers the most dramatic results.
While recovering, it is beneficial to prop your head up and refrain from any heavy-duty tasks. Healthy eating habits and effective stress control can remarkably assist in your recuperation journey. A complete healing span could last for a few months, during which the puffiness slowly eases off and the cut marks become less noticeable. Diligently adhering to the post-surgery guidelines from your doctor and consistently showing up for all scheduled check-ups can contribute to a swift, seamless recovery.
Expect to experience bruising, swelling, and some discomfort for the first 3 to 5 days. You may be able to return to work and some light activities within 7 to 14 days, but avoid any vigorous activities for about 5 to 6 weeks. It may take 2 to 3 months until your face feels normal in terms of texture and sensibility.
Approximately 80% to 90% of people who had a facelift is reported to achieve a positive result after their procedure. However, although great results are expected after a facelift, there can be no guarantee. In some cases, you may need more than one surgery to achieve your desired result. To make sure your surgery is successful; you need to ensure your surgeon is skilled and experienced. You also have to follow your surgeon’s instructions, from the preparation to the aftercare.
Note that the results of a facelift are not permanent because no cosmetic procedure can stop aging. Your facial skin may begin to droop again as you age. The average facelift lasts between 7 and 10 years before you have aged enough to need additional work.
