Facelift Surgery (Rhytidectomy)

Facelift surgery, medically known as rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce visible signs of aging on the face and neck. It involves tightening the underlying muscles, removing excess skin, and repositioning tissues to create a smoother, more youthful appearance. At İnci Esthetic, facelift surgeries are performed with modern techniques that ensure natural results and minimal scarring.

Benefits of Facelift Surgery

This procedure provides comprehensive facial rejuvenation:

Reduces sagging skin on the face, jawline, and neck.

Smooths deep wrinkles and folds around the mouth and nose.

Restores youthful facial contours.

Long-lasting results compared to non-surgical treatments.

Boosts confidence with a refreshed, natural look.

Candidates for Facelift

The ideal candidates are men and women seeking significant facial rejuvenation:

Individuals with sagging skin, jowls, or deep wrinkles.

Patients with good skin elasticity and overall health.

Non-smokers or those willing to quit before and after surgery.

Those with realistic expectations about results.

Types of Facelift Techniques

Traditional Facelift

Addresses sagging across the face, jawline, and neck with incisions around the ears and hairline.

Mini Facelift

Less invasive, targeting early signs of aging in the mid-face and jawline.

Neck Lift (often combined)

Focuses on tightening the neck and removing sagging under the chin.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery depends on the type of facelift performed:

Swelling and bruising last 1–2 weeks.

Stitches are usually removed after 7–10 days.

Most patients return to work within 2 weeks.

Final results become visible within 2–3 months.

Cost Considerations

The cost of a facelift depends on the technique, surgical complexity, and whether it is combined with other procedures (eyelid lift, brow lift, etc.). At İnci Esthetic, facelift surgery is performed at competitive rates compared to Europe and the USA.
