Eyelids
Our eyes are among the most important organs of our body. Eyelid aesthetics aims to restore the shape of drooping eyelids, which can make us look tired, sleepless, unhappy, lethargic, and unhealthy, a condition that affects nearly everyone over time. Even a small facial expression can reflect our happiness and sadness through our eyes in daily life. We move our eyelids millions of times each day. Besides having such a range of movement, the area around the eyes has the most delicate skin tissue in our body. As we age and under the influence of gravity, the skin loses its elasticity. For these reasons, signs such as puffiness under the eyes, drooping eyelids, excess skin, color changes, loss of elasticity, and wrinkles can occur. Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid lifting or eyelid aesthetics, surgically reduces the upper or lower eyelid, giving a more toned appearance to the sagging eyelid skin.
In which patients is eyelid aesthetics applied?
• Patients who are bothered by sagging skin or fat tissue on the upper eyelids.
• Individuals whose lower eyelids give them a tired appearance.
• People who are disturbed by puffiness or bags under their eyes.
• Patients whose vision is obstructed by drooping eyelids.
Facelift
If you want to rejuvenate and refresh your face or even stop the aging process, a facelift may be suitable for you. In the 21st century, we see that surgeries that maintain a natural appearance capture the secret of youth. During a facelift, not only is the facial area addressed, but also sagging skin on the face and neck is eliminated, along with any excess fat under the chin if present, allowing for a comprehensive renewal and revitalization of the entire face. The procedure also helps to smooth out skin folds in various areas of the face. Due to natural aging, the skin loses its elasticity and becomes saggy, which is most noticeable on the cheeks, jawline, and neck. Additionally, wrinkles around the face and eyes become more pronounced for the same reason.
With facelift surgeries, skin on both sides of the face is tightened, and excess skin is removed. This allows the patient to achieve a youthful appearance, free from skin sagging and wrinkles.
Currently, the facelift procedure is performed minimally invasively at specific points, allowing for greater tension in more areas with fewer incisions. This method targets the double chin, cheeks, and lower face, eliminating signs of sagging and aging while increasing skin elasticity.
In a full facelift, which is usually performed on older patients, the method involves pulling fat tissues back to anatomically designated areas. This technique helps eliminate low eyebrows, forehead lines, and prominent deep lines. The lost jaw contour is redefined, and wrinkles are reduced. Instead of a sagging and unhappy appearance due to aging, a fresh, lively, and youthful look is achieved.
In which patients is facelift surgery applied?
• Patients with sagging skin on the cheeks and jawline.
• Individuals experiencing an increase in wrinkles around the eyes and in other areas of the face.
• Patients with deep skin folds or lines extending from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
• Those with sagging skin and excess fat in the neck area.
• Cases where Botox or fillers are no longer effective.
Neck Lift
The neck is one of the first areas where signs of aging become apparent, much like the face. We can also observe neck sagging in younger individuals due to genetic factors or fluctuations in weight. Neck lift procedures give the patient a clear and dynamic facial contour. When the face loses its firmness, the facial features also lose their definition. As we age, the face changes, and the skin loses its previous elasticity, while the underlying tissue and muscles can weaken and sag downwards. A neck lift encompasses procedures aimed at tightening and lifting the sagging skin in the neck area.
In which patients is neck lift surgery applied?
• Individuals experiencing wrinkles, a deflated balloon appearance, sagging, and loss of shape in the neck.
• Patients with deformities in the neck muscles.
• People with a "turkey neck" appearance.
• Patients with sagging salivary glands.
• Individuals with excess fat or an unwanted double chin under the jaw.
