Every individual ages differently. Facial aging manifests itself in different ways depending on the individual’s skeletal structure, skin quality, weight gain or loss, hormonal and environmental factors. While in some individuals, aging around the eyes is prominent, in others, aging in the chin and neck line is more evident. In some individuals, superficial tissues age earlier, and in others, deep tissues such as bone/muscle. In some individuals, the face loses volume during the aging process, and in some individuals it gains volume.

In cases where the entire face is aging, treating a single area will make the treated area look “done” and the untreated areas look older than they are. For this reason, totality is very important in facial rejuvenation surgeries.

Facial rejuvenation is not a single surgery. It is a planning obtained by combining multiple surgeries according to the needs of the person. Most of the time, a facelift surgery that treats the sagging cheek mass lies at the very heart of facial rejuvenation surgeries. The important point here is that facelift surgery alone will not be enough to rejuvenate the entire face. For example, if only face lift surgery is performed on an individual whose entire face has aged, the patient’s aged eye area, forehead and neck area signal that the change in the cheeks is unnatural. Therefore, when talking about facial rejuvenation surgeries, most often a combination of the following is applied:

• face lift
• neck lift
• periorbital surgery (eyelid aesthetics)
• mid facelift
• temporal lift
• lip lift
• forehead lift
• fat injection

Frequently Asked Questions

-Are there any alternatives to facial rejuvenation surgeries?

There is no alternative to facial rejuvenation surgeries. Thread lifts, fillings, laser applications, injection techniques, etc. have a very limited effect only on selected patient groups and can never replace surgical procedures in terms of effect, permanence and safety. There is no scientific evidence on the above-mentioned methods.
