How is a Mini Facelift Performed in Turkey?
Usually performed under local anesthesia, mini facelift surgery can sometimes be performed under general anesthesia if it involves other aesthetic operations.
In mini facelift aesthetics, a cut is made starting from the front of the earlobe, hiding inside the ear and extending to the scalp. This incision has a length ranging between 5-7 cm. Through this incision, the sagging fat pads and soft tissues under the skin are lifted upwards. Their new position is then fixed by suturing.
Through the incision made during the surgery, the skin is pulled up and stretched to the sides, thus giving the person the most natural expression. If necessary, excess skin is cut and organized. Since only the skin tissue of a certain area is removed in the mini facelift operation, the natural facial expression of the person is preserved. Since the nerves are not cut, there is no loss of sensation after surgery. The operation takes approximately 2.5 hours.
