What is a Face Lift?
As the name suggests, a face lift is a method that makes the skin appear more voluminous and tight, with the change created in the skin texture of the face. Also, face lift is one of the most frequently applied methods within aesthetic surgery because the most significant changes and effects due to ageing occur on the face.
Today, facelift surgery is performed in two different ways, depending on the face structure of the person. The face lift method is preferred depending on the interpretation of the aesthetic surgeon at this point and the sagging condition of the patient’s face.

As with any surgery, it is essential to accept the risks of this surgery and put it into practice. Depending on the method to be chosen during the application, the paths are followed.
If no excess skin is sagging, mini face lift is applied with an endoscope. Tiny incisions are made from the roots of the hair, and tension is created on the skin together with the cameras. If the sagging is versatile and wide, thin incisions are made from the front to the back of the ear. Skin tissues are tightened under these cuts.
