Facelift at Private Akif Mehmetoglu Clinic

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.
