Suitable Patients for Deep Plane Facelift Surgery
As the years go by, we slowly start to notice changes in our face. Especially after the age of 40, we try to live faster to stop and slow down time. In this process, our body and skin gradually start to change. When stress, smoking and genetic factors are added to this change, the situation becomes more serious.
Loosening of the neck and face, tissue loss, sagging eyelids, wrinkles on the skin, drooping eyebrows and sagging on the sides of the chin begin to occur. Deep plane facelift surgery is one of the most effective and permanent operations for these and similar problems.
One of the most frequently asked questions by patients applying to Clinic Health Beauty is whether they are suitable for facelift surgery.
Patients considering a facelift should undergo two evaluations to determine their suitability for the surgery. First, their health status should be assessed. Second, the necessary operations for the patient’s facelift should be determined.
Patient's Health Status and Lifestyle Prior to Facelift Surgery
Before undergoing facelift surgery, Clinic Health Beauty assistants will inquire about your detailed health status. It is crucial that this information is accurate to ensure a smooth operation and your overall health.
The information required from patients prior to facelift surgery includes:
- Age, Height, Weight
- Chronic Diseases (diabetes, blood pressure, heart, thyroid, asthma)
- Medicines you use (which medicine you use and for what)
- Do you use blood thinners?
- What surgeries have you had in the past?
- Have you experienced any complications in your previous surgeries?
- Smoking (how many cigarettes do you smoke per day) IMPORTANT
- Do you drink alcohol? How often.
- Do you use substances? How often.
- Do you have allergies? Write in detail?
- Do you have psychological disorders?
This information should be provided prior to facelift surgery. It is recommended that you quit smoking at least one month in advance, as advised by your doctor, to prepare for the surgery. Additionally, smoking should be avoided for at least one month after the surgery to ensure proper healing.
You should discontinue the use of blood thinners 15 days prior to your facelift surgery with the doctor’s approval.
Individuals with chronic conditions, such as diabetes and high blood pressure, should undergo evaluation by a specialist physician prior to undergoing facelift surgery. Proper healing of surgical incisions and stitches is crucial for a successful facelift procedure.
Doctor Consultation Before Facelift Surgery
Deep plane facelift surgery is a specialized procedure that requires doctors with specific training and expertise. It should be performed by qualified facelift specialists in a fully equipped private hospital in Istanbul, Turkey.
Before undergoing deep plane facelift surgery, patients are asked about their concerns and expectations. They are also requested to provide face photographsfrom all angles and a 30-second video of their facial expressions and smile lines to ensure a clear understanding of their needs.
Clinic Health Beauty specialist doctors evaluate all of this information and prepare the most appropriate surgical plan for the patient. If necessary, deep plane facelift surgery can be combined with other procedures, such as a forehead lift, brow lift, lip lift, upper and lower eyelid surgery, almond eye aesthetics, and facial fat injections.
When planning a facelift surgery, it is important to prioritize completing the procedure in a safe and healthy manner. Therefore, a preoperative evaluation by a doctor is crucial. Facelift surgery carries risks that can result in significant changes, so it is important to thoroughly evaluate all potential risks.
