What are the causes of premature skin aging?

Lack of Collagen

Collagen is essential for the youth of the skin and represents 75% its composition. They play a major role in the appearance of the skin.

Exposure to harmful rays

Exposure to ultraviolet radiations contributes 90% in early skin aging, dermal damage and skin cancer. The sun rays are carcinogenic and dangerous to the skin.

Scientific studies have shown that recurrent UV exposure destroys collagen fibers and restrains the genesis of new collagen. It also attacks our elastin fibers (the main component protein of the skin’s extracellular matrix). 

Oxidation

This process of oxidation starts with free radicals. They are oxidizable small particles that can damage any molecule. Indeed, they can affect the most important cellular structures in the body’s widest organ which is the skin.

Our bodies have been created with inner antioxidants, but they are not sufficient to prevent irreversible damages and early signs of aging.

Dermal inflammation

The skin is the first line of defense against external invaders such as viruses and bacteria. Inflammation also inducts the cutaneous tissue recovery process and limits the damage to skin cells caused by chemical substances. Although it is efficient in the short term, chronic inflammation is one of the most common causes of premature skin aging.

Glycation

Sugar is one of the factors of accelerated aging. Glycation causes the skin's proteins to lose their normal functions and is now well recognized and heavily involved in early skin aging.

Glycation happens when glucose molecules join the skin’s collagen and elastin (the main components of the skin extracellular matrix). This association can create chemical bridges between proteins. Glycated fibers can become rigid and unable to self-regenerate, this would cause permanent damages to the skin.

The Mid Facelift: what is it?

The mid-facelift in Turkey and Istanbul is a cosmetic intervention that aims to correct the sagging of the face that may be the result of age advancement, prolonged exposure to the sun, smoking, and stress. As a result, this intervention can be performed for the cheek lift, jowls, face, neck and the corner of the mouth. It allows to redefine the face and rejuvenate the skin.

The midface lift focuses on the lower part of the face and neck. It lasts between 1.30 and 2 hours and is performed under light general anesthesia with a clinical stay. Its results generally last between 7 years and 10 years.

What is Endoscopic MidFace Lift?

The endoscopic midface lift is a new less-invasive facelift procedure that does not leave any scars on the face. This uses endoscopic incisions and a stitching technique.

An endoscopic mid face lift is a combination of minimally invasive and nonsurgical procedures. It aims to rejuvenate and renew the appearance (facial rejuvenation). Compared with a mid facelift surgery, these methods do not necessitate significant surgical incisions, general anesthesia, hospitalization, or a stay in a clinic.

Surgical VS Endoscopic Midface Lift 

During the traditional facelift, the doctor (facial plastic surgeon) will remove the excess skin and fat and tighten the subjacent facial muscles. However, in the endoscopic face lift technique, the incisions are concealed behind the hairy area of the temple, the postauricular hairline and behind the cartilage bump in front of the ear.

This will give you an improved and long-lasting result.

What happens before the Intervention?

An ordinary pre-operative check-up is carried out in accordance with the requirements. A consultation with an anesthesiologist is essential before the surgery. A hair wash will be performed the day before the surgery and a careful makeup removal will be performed on the day of the surgery. It is important to inform you that you should not eat or drink anything for 6 hours before surgery.

What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of Mid Face lift ?

The mid facelift offers a natural facial refresh, wrinkle removal and a refreshed appearance. Thus, like the other types of facelift, this intervention has some disadvantages, such as:

• Pain can be felt during the first few days after surgery and can be relieved by pain medication.
• Social eviction: a period of rest is strongly requested between 8 and 10 days after the operation.
• Swelling and bruising may occur during the first week.
