Face Lift
Face lift surgery is a surgical procedure performed to correct the disproportionate places on the face and to save the patient from sagging skin on the neck and chin. Face lift is also preferred for cheekbones to be more prominent. If the face lift operation is used together with other aesthetic procedures, the patient can look younger. Facelift surgery takes between 2-5 hours on average, although it varies according to the procedure.
In the face lift surgery, the patient is examined by the surgeon before the procedure in order to understand the exact face shape of the patient. In this examination, the patient’s expectations are fully learned and the procedure to be done accordingly is started. You can achieve the look of your dreams with face lift, which is one of the services Este in Turkey provides in the field of aesthetics.
How is Face Lift Performed?
A surgical incision is made from the scalp above the ear to the scalp behind the ear, and the facial skin is lifted in both directions. Special sutures are made to support the tissue in the facial muscles that cause sagging on the face. Excess skin in the cheek, chin and temple areas is removed. After the procedure, the smile lines around the mouth become smaller.

Before the operation, the patient should go through the surgeon’s examination and the patient’s expectations should be understood well. General anesthesia is applied in the face lift procedure performed in the hospital environment. Facelift surgery, which is a simple procedure, takes a short time and the patient can be discharged on the same day.
