Due to aging, collagen production in our skin begins to decrease, especially from the age of 30s. In this context, after the connective tissues in the skin deform, our skin becomes loose and prone to sagging. As you get older, the subcutaneous tissues begin to melt and the subcutaneous tissue empties and the skin begins to succumb to gravity, depending on the decrease in collagen production mentioned above. Although non-surgical aesthetic treatments are sufficient for a younger and more dynamic appearance in the first periods when skin loosening manifests itself, stretching surgeries are needed over time.

What is mini facelift plastic surgery?

Mini facelift surgery is a procedure that is mostly applied to the middle age group. The aim of mini facelift surgery, which is made by making a mini incision from the earlobe, is to achieve a younger and more dynamic appearance on the face. Although it can be performed with local anesthesia, if the operation is to be performed in combination with other treatments, general anesthesia is preferred.

Why is mini facelift plastic surgery needed?

Mini facelift surgery is a kind of simplified version of full facelift surgery. Surgery, which can be performed with a small incision made from the earlobe, is applied to recover moderate and mild sagging. For this reason, the person can have a younger and more dynamic appearance after mini facelift surgery, which is a procedure that is mostly performed on patients in the 40-50 age group.

Is there an age limit for mini facelift surgery?

There is no age limit for mini facelift surgery. However, at the end of the day, when it comes to plastic surgery, surgery is always the last option. For this reason, instead of opting for immediate surgery for skin deformations encountered in the 30s and 40s, it benefits from non-surgical aesthetic methods in the first place. After these ages, mini facelift surgery can be preferred according to the deformation that the person encounters.

Mini facelift surgery preparation process

Although mini facelift surgery is a comfortable and reliable procedure, it takes an average of 2-2.5 hours and requires preliminary preparation. It is important that our patients share their medical history with us in detail before the surgery. However, if our patients use blood thinners, especially aspirin, in pills or ready-made injections, they should be discontinued 10 days before the surgery, with the knowledge of their prescribing physicians.

Another preparation that needs to be done is smoking. Smoking slows down skin cell regeneration. For this reason, your healing process may progress more slowly due to smoking. It is important that you stop smoking for about one week before and after the surgery.

How is mini facelift surgery performed?

Mini facelift surgery is a comfortable and reliable operation. The operation can be performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia. In the operation, which starts with an incision of 5-7 cm in front of the earlobe, the skin is partially stretched and the subcutaneous tissues are lifted and moved to where they should be. In this way, the droopy, tired appearance of the face is eliminated and a more rested and youthful appearance is obtained. Since the skin stretching is not at a high level in this operation, the expression of the person does not deteriorate, the operation is easily completed without compromising the natural appearance.

With which treatments can mini facelift surgery be performed?

Mini facelift surgery is a rejuvenation operation with effective results. With this operation, many face and body operations, especially fat injections to the face area, can be performed in combination.
