What is facelift surgery?

Through face lifting, excess skin is removed, subcutaneous tissues and muscles are strengthened and the skin on the face and neck is repositioned.

The incisions vary depending on the type of facelift chosen and the extent of the intervention.

In the minimally invasive variants, the incision is only at the level of the temples and in front of the ears up to the level of the auricular lobe.

In the total facelift, the incisions are also extended behind the ears and at the level of the hairline (behind the ears).

If it is also associated with a cervical lift (in the neck area) to treat the “double chin” or “turkey neck” there is another incision that will be camouflaged under the chin.
