Meanwhile, unlike facial skin lift surgery, which has a recovery period, non-surgical methods can be performed without any recovery period. The only and biggest disadvantage of these methods is their temporary nature. Therefore, you should repeat these methods once in a while to get the results.

In addition, during non-surgical procedures, no anesthetic is needed because no incisions are made on the applicant’s face. Anyway, all surgical and non-surgical methods are very effective and will help to lift the skin of different areas of the face. Some of these methods are listed below:

Face lift surgery is one of the most amazing rejuvenation techniques. It doesn’t matter if you have sagging skin due to aging or direct sunlight, lift surgery can fix all the damage caused by aging or environmental and life conditions.

Do not forget that with the passage of time, the useful and essential fats under the skin of your face will disappear or decrease, as a result, your skin will sag. Therefore, lifting the facial skin can have a significant effect on this condition. This method can even remove skin damage caused by hereditary issues and create conditions for you to enjoy the freshness and vitality of your facial skin to the fullest. In the rest of this section, we briefly mention the most important applications of lift surgery:

For whom is face lift surgery suitable?

advanced divider

As we have explained in different sections of this guide, the elderly or even young people who are unhappy with their sagging skin can try this surgery. Finally, this surgery is good for those who have a lot of sagging in their face.

If signs of moderate aging are also visible on your face, you can use the same surgical method. Also, those who lost a lot of weight after being overweight and their facial skin is loose should consider facial skin lifting surgery.

Does face lift also affect eyelids and eyebrows?

advanced divider

As it is clear from the name of this surgery, during face lift, only the skin of your face is affected and undergoes significant changes. If you intend to raise your eyelids and eyebrows or fix their sagging, you should use other cosmetic surgery methods.

Unfortunately, this misconception is common among applicants that with facial skin lift surgery, their eyebrows and eyelids are also raised; While this is not the case. If you want to lift your face, eyebrows and eyelids at the same time, you can do this face lift surgery along with eyebrow lift.

Of course, you have to use the blepharoplasty method to fix your eyelid droop. We recommend that you choose a specialist doctor for your surgery who can perform all these cosmetic surgeries in the best possible way. It is better to make a final decision after consulting with a surgeon.

How long is the result of face lift surgery?

In the previous sections, we also mentioned the durability of the surgical results. Although the durability of non-surgical methods is temporary and needs to be extended, the durability of the result of surgery will be very high. In fact, you will not need to extend this surgery for consecutive years.

If you have lifted the skin of your face through gel injection, its effect will remain for only 6 to 12 months and you will have to renew it again. Note that the shelf life of gel and fat under your skin depends on various factors such as the type of gel used and your body structure.

Also, fat injection method is more durable than gel. In some cases, people will continue to have this injected fat under the skin for several years. The shortest lasting period of facial skin lift is through botox injection, which usually needs to be extended after 3 or 4 months.

What kind of surgery is mini face lift surgery?

In some cases, the people who undergo surgery are relatively young. In this way, the skin of their face has not yet completely fallen and relaxed. In such a case, the specialist surgeon determines that mini-lift surgery should be used for the facial skin of these people.

Usually, elderly people who have loose and drooping skin use full lift surgery; Because in mini-lift surgery, necessary incisions and slits are made only in certain parts of the face.

Face lift surgery procedures

The first and most important part of face lift surgery is anesthesia of the patient. If the applicant is allergic to anesthetics, the specialist will use anesthetics. In the following, we briefly describe the 3 important and main stages of this surgery:

  • Creating a gap or cut: The surgeon makes cuts in different parts according to the loose areas and the amount of sagging skin on your face. Of course, it will mark the selected parts before making the cut. According to mini lift or full lift surgery, the number of these incisions varies. Keep in mind that these incisions are made in the temple area and will continue to the back of your earlobe. Don’t worry about scarring from these incisions because the incisions are made in places that are not visible.
  • Pulling the facial skin: In this step, it is time to tighten the facial tissue or pull the facial skin. In this section, fat and excess skin and loose or fallen facial tissue are removed. Next, the surgeon pulls the skin.
  • Suturing: In the last step, it is time to stitch. The surgeon keeps the stretched skin in place with the help of sutures. Specialists typically use absorbable and non-absorbable sutures. If your stitches are non-absorbable, you should visit your chosen surgeon’s office to have them removed.
