Facial rejuvenation surgery is a surgical treatment method in which the aging face is handled holistically. Each individual ages in a different way. Facial aging manifests itself in different ways depending on the skeletal structure of the individual, skin quality, weight gain and loss, hormonal and environmental factors. While aging around the eyes is at the forefront in some individuals, aging in the chin and neck line is more prominent in others. In some individuals, superficial tissues age earlier, in others deep tissues such as bone/muscle. In some individuals, the face loses volume during the aging process, while in some individuals it gains volume.

What is common to everyone is that the face is aging as a whole. Above a certain age, a holistic ageing becomes apparent in all facial areas from the forehead to the neck. Some people reach this level in their 40s, some in their 50s and some in their 60s.
In cases where the entire face is aging, treating a single area makes both the treated area look ‘done’ and the untreated areas look older than they are. For this reason, holism is very important in facial rejuvenation surgeries.
Which Procedures are Included in Facial Rejuvenation Surgery?
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, there is a facelift surgery that corrects the sagging cheek mass at the centre of facial rejuvenation surgeries. The important point is that facelift surgery alone is not enough to rejuvenate the whole face. For example, if only facelift surgery is performed in an individual with aging of the entire face, the patient's aged eye contour, forehead and neck area signals that the change in the cheeks is unnatural.
Various combinations of the following procedures are used in facial rejuvenation surgery.
- Face lift
- Neck lift
- Forehead lift
- Fat injection
- Eyelid aesthetics
- Aesthetics around the mouth
- Hair transplantation in men
As the content of facial rejuvenation surgeries increases, the duration of surgery, hospitalisation and recovery times increase. While some of our patients want to do everything in a single session, some individuals divide facial rejuvenation surgery into sessions. Dividing facial rejuvenation surgery into sessions shortens the recovery time of each session and ensures that you are not separated from social life for long periods of time.
There are some rules that determine how the sequence will be performed in facial rejuvenation surgeries.
For example, neck lift surgery should also be performed while performing facelift surgery. Otherwise, you will have to go back and reopen the face while performing the neck lift surgery. Similarly, if mid-facelift surgery is to be performed, lower eyelid surgery should be performed at the same time. Similarly, upper eyelid surgery is often combined with forehead lift surgery. During or after facial rejuvenation surgeries, volume losses due to aging can be eliminated by facial fat tissue transfer in separate sessions.
Who is Facial Rejuvenation Surgery Suitable for?
Facial rejuvenation surgery is suitable for individuals in whom facial aging covers the entire face. The ideal patient group for facial rejuvenation surgery is healthy, emotionally balanced, active and social individuals with realistic expectations.
Alternatives to Facial Rejuvenation Surgery
The alternative to facial rejuvenation surgery is to live happily and happily with your own face without surgery. The fact that the applications touted under the name of non-surgical facial rejuvenation rejuvenate the face or delay the aging of the face is just a claim that has no proof and equivalent in the medical literature. Similarly, facial rejuvenation with thread, facial rejuvenation devices, facial rejuvenation creams, facial rejuvenation exercises are applications that have no scientific equivalent.

Facelift surgery is suitable for middle-aged and older individuals who want to reduce the signs of aging and slow down the rate of appearance of signs of aging in the future. If the person looks older than the average age, this is a correct indication for facelift surgery. Wrinkles and sagging in the skin and subcutaneous tissues on and around the cheeks, relaxation in the jaw line and neck are among the main reasons that bring patients to facelift surgery. The result of facelift surgery varies from person to person, depending on the scope of the surgery and the age range in which the surgery is performed. An individual who has a holistic facial rejuvenation surgery between the ages of 55-60 will look 10-15 years younger. The transformative effect of the surgery is more limited in individuals who undergo surgery at an earlier age. For example, you cannot have surgery at the age of 30 and return to the age of 20. However, in the young patient group, the protective effect of the surgery that provides resistance to aging in the long term comes to the fore. Facial rejuvenation surgery is a treatment strategy in which many treatments to reduce the signs of aging on the face are combined in the same surgical session. Facial rejuvenation surgeries almost always include a facelift technique, but often additional procedures such as eyelids, forehead, neck, skin surface, fat injection are included in the plan in line with the needs of the patient. There is a permanence that varies according to the technique used in facelift surgery. Mini lift surgeries are generally less permanent. A well-performed deep plan facelift surgery has a very long effect, especially when performed with the retaining ligament reconstruction technique developed by Dr Ozan Bitik. We can say that the effect of this surgery continues for life. The person will always look much better than the average of individuals in their age group. Of course, surgeries do not stop the aging process. However, in simple terms, if you operate one of the two twin sisters and do not operate the other, the operated sister will look younger than the other for life. In facelift surgery, there are risks such as distortion of the hairline, suture reactions, infection, bleeding, hair loss, tissue loss, prominent scars, collapse or excessive tension of the skin. However, most of these risks can be prevented with the surgeon's experience and care. Who can undergo facelift surgery?
