Mini facelift in Turkey, Reviews & Costs of Istanbul Clinics

What is the mini facelift (soft lift)? 

The mini facelift is one of the surgical techniques used to address wrinkles and drooping skin, as well as combat aging. It's a scaled-down version of a traditional facelift. It differs from it in terms of the number of incisions done by the doctor and the fact that it is appropriate for those with wrinkles and light to medium sagging.

Because the face and neck are treated early in their relaxation between 40 and 50 years, the mini-lift provides a natural effect.

Patients with greater relaxation, regardless of age (provided that their general health permits it),may benefit from a mini-lift to achieve a more natural result from the start than with a traditional facelift. If the treatment is well performed at a reasonable stage, results will be long-lasting.

The surgery steps

The mini-lift is known as a traditional facelift, but the skin peeling is more modest to shorten the recovery time, and muscle realignment is crucial.

The mini-lift (soft lift) follows the same techniques as a traditional facelift but focuses more on the muscular component rather than the skin.

This procedure is performed under general or local anesthesia. Small incisions around the ear and hairline are then made by the doctor. He can manipulate skin tissue, lifting it and dragging it up with it.

The extra skin is then removed during surgery. Finally, the doctor uses surgical sutures to close all the incisions.

Risks and side effects

You may be exposed to some potential face-lift damage as a result of surgery. As with other procedures, there is a low risk of complications, such as:

• Infection following bleeding.
• Injury to the facial nerve.
• Skin color shifts.
• Scarring's appearance.

If you experience any of the following issues, you should contact your doctor immediately:

• severe pain
• Swelling increased significantly.
• Bleeding in the stitches.
• Loss of sensation

What are the typical post-operative follow-ups?

After the procedure, a small bandage is applied to the scars and no restriction is required.

Sutures and staples are removed in phases between day 5 and day 15.

The first shower is authorized the day after the intervention.

Edema and bruising are minimal on the patient. After the mini facelift, there is always a feeling of tension in the face.

Recovery is generally rapid, with a rest phase of 7 to 10 days following the micro lift. Surgical makeup can be used to conceal bruises.

The final result of the mini facelift should not be seen for at least six months. It is necessary to wait 12 months before judging the final appearance of the scars. The patient, on the other hand, can resume social activities within 7-10 days. However, the results are not as long-lasting as a traditional facelift.

At one month, three months, six months, and one year after the operation, several follow-up consultations are carried out.

Mini facelift surgery recovery

The stitches normally stay in place for up to ten days after a mini facelift, and it takes several weeks to fully recuperate.

Following the mini facelift, you should expect some swelling, redness, and bruising as a result of the surgery's effects; therefore, you should follow the doctor's recommendations and use the prescribed treatments.
