What to Consider Before the Operation?

Before face lift surgery, people should first share their expectations with their doctor. Then, the doctor should be informed about details by the doctor during the examination. The results of the surgery should be indicated by the doctor as to how people can achieve results. After the surgery is decided, people should not take any drugs that may cause bleeding before surgery, not to consume any food or drink that will increase the bleeding, and not to smoke and drink alcohol. It is not possible to dye the hair for the first month after surgery. Therefore, people who want to dye their hair, should dye hair before the surgery. It is recommended not to cut if the hair is long. Long hair will be advantageous in terms of closure of the traces that can be seen after surgery..

What are the Risks of the Operation?

As with all surgical operations, there are some risks in face lift surgery. These risks are almost never seen with the use of advanced methods of facelift. However, it is very important that people are informed about the risks before the surgery. The risks of facelift surgery can be listed as follows;

Bleeding: The risk of bleeding is present in all surgical operations. Therefore, people should not take aspirin – derived drugs and consume herbal tea which may cause bleeding before surgery.

Infection: Because of the fact that the face is a well-blooded area, the risk of infection is very low. Before and after surgery, a number of applications will be performed by the doctor to prevent infection. If there is a risk of infection, people can start antibiotics by the doctor.

Scars remain: Causes of bad traces on the face and around after surgery; hereditary traits, infection of the face during surgery, skin loss, and smoking.

Nerve damage: If the motor nerves are damaged during the operation, it is possible that weakness or loss may occur in the face movements. This type of damage usually occurs in a short period of time, people do not need to apply any additional treatment method.

Hair loss: Whether or not hair loss can be seen as a result of surgery can not be determined in advance. Hair loss is likely to occur only in areas where the skin is pulled up. But this situation is almost never encountered today. Performing the operation by a qualified doctor will reduce the likelihood of this condition.

Long-term effects: It should be noted that in the long term, the tension may not be maintained due to a number of factors. These factors include aging, prolonged sunshine, excessive weight gain or giving.

It should be kept in mind that face lift surgery does not stop aging even though it offers very successful results. For this reason, it is very important for people to know that the above mentioned risks and aging cannot be stopped. But by using the most effective methods, these risks are hardly ever present.

Face lift is one of the most preferred aesthetic operations. The effects of the operation may be reduced after aging such as aging, prolonged sunshine, but there is no harm in repeating the operation. Therefore, people who are satisfied with the effects of the operation but who have complained about the decrease of their effects after years can apply to face lift operation.
