Facelift in Iran

Facelift procedure

A Face Lift may be conducted either in an office with advanced surgical facilities or a specialized clinic. Since face-lift is a complex procedure, the process is mostly quite lengthy and is carried out in several stages since apart from tightening the skin, surgeons have many goals to achieve. This issue adds complexity to the whole process. While full face-lifts may take about 4-6 hours, other forms like mini lifts which are held to be simple usually take less time.

Based on patients’ individual needs, a face-lift surgery includes repositioning of the layers of the face to hold them in an elevated position, reduction of fat in certain areas, and addition of volume in others. Recently, this combination of lifting and volume restoration has become so popular since they can result in the most natural outcomes compared to the techniques previously applied which were only aimed at pulling the skin. Depending on your expectations and goals, your options will be a traditional face-lift, limited incision face-lift or a neck lift.

A traditional face-lift incision usually begins in the hairline at the temples, continues around the ear and ends in the lower scalp. Fat may be sculpted or redistributed from the face, jowls, and neck as well. The underlying tissue is re-positioned, and deeper layers of the face, and the muscles are lifted, and excess skin is trimmed away afterwards. In some cases, for improving the appearance of the neck, your surgeon makes another incision under the chin. In the second technique mentioned above, doctors use shorter incisions at the temples, continuing around the ear. This procedure is highly suggested to patients who suffer so much from saggy skin.

As the name suggests, the last option called neck lift addresses the sagging jowls, loose neck skin, and fat accumulation under the chin. The neck lift incision often begins in front of the ear lobe and wraps around behind the ear, and ends in the posterior hair behind the ear. After conducting the agreed procedure, specialists close the incisions with sutures that will be removed after some days.

If approved by surgeons, other similar procedures can be implemented to enhance face-lift’s outcomes. Some of them are indicated below:

• Facial implants or fat transfer to improve the contour
• Resurfacing techniques to improve the tone and texture of facial skin
• Wrinkle reduction by injecting fat or fillers

Mini Face Lift:

In mini-lift which is a facial lifting procedure, doctors make short incisions that are less invasive compared to the traditional face lift. During the operation, the hairline and ears will be covered with small incisions which enable surgeons to strain the skin, remove extra tissue, and finally improve the appearance. The recovery process typically takes about 2 weeks and after a month, patients can do their routine daily activities.

Upper Face Lift:

The forehead is among one of the first parts of the face that shows signs of the aging process. The horizontal lines on the brow usually appear at the age of twenty. Wrinkles on the brows which are formed because of forehead movements, may make the brow look sagging as time goes by. This annoying problem is posed when the muscles of the forehead start to weaken and droop gradually. Thus, you may have a tired, angry, or sad expression on your face. If you are trying to find a solution for this issue, undergoing a brow lift is highly recommended. This surgery is performed for lifting and tightening the brow. Indeed, surgeons raise the soft tissue and skin of the forehead and brow to help you have a more refreshed and youthful appearance.

Lower Face Lift:

Through this operation, the bottom third of the face will be rejuvenated by tightening the face’s underlying structures that slacken with age, forming jowls and a fleshy neck. Doctors may remove the extra skin as well. They also smooth it down to eliminate facial creases and give a visual lift to the bottom third of the face.

Non-Surgical Facelift in Iran

A nonsurgical facelift is a combination of nonsurgical procedures which are adopted to refresh and enhance the appearance. Compared with a surgical facelift, these methods are minimally invasive since they do not need large incisions, general anesthesia or overnight stay in the hospital. Patients receive these treatments in their specialist’s office.

Nonsurgical facelifts address majority of problems people usually deal with including deep creases, loose skin, thinning lips, sunken cheeks, large pores, acne scarring and the loss of facial volume. The main components are:

• Dermal fillers
• Botox
• Fat injections

Considering the complexity of this procedure, the skills and experience of cosmetic surgeons are challenged to a great extent. Therefore, it’s better to consult with medical tourism experts in Iran beforehand to be informed of the process you should go through and achieve your desired outcomes. They will give you useful tips and clarify the steps you need to take. Meanwhile, you can express all your needs, concerns, and expectations so that they can help you in the best way.

Pre-Operative Considerations for Facelift in Iran:

Before having the operation, schedule a meeting with an experienced cosmetic specialist. You should talk about all your expectations, goals, and concerns. You must also inform your doctor of any certain medical conditions you have such as drug allergies. Afterwards, your surgeon will:

• Review your medical history
• Ask you about previous surgeries
• Evaluate your overall health
• Examines your face thoroughly
• Order some lab tests
• Take photos for your medical record
• Ask you to stop smoking and taking some medications like aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements for a while before and after the operation since they can increase bleeding and bruising
• Discuss the available options
• Determine the best kind of treatment

Face Lift Recovery Time:

As mentioned previously, face-lift includes multiple procedures. Therefore, you need to have enough rest for passing the extensive recovery process. You should stay at home for the first two or three weeks to accelerate the healing process. Accordingly, it’s better to ask someone to take care of you for a short period of time. You don’t need to worry about sutures since your specialist removes them after a week or two. Swelling and bruising also disappear as time passes. After a few weeks, you can do routine daily activities. Final results will show up six months after the surgery. If you follow your doctor’s instructions carefully, you will pass the recovery process earlier than expected.

Face Lift Results:

You will notice the improvements when swelling and bruising fade away. While most people can leave the house and go back to work within 10-14 days, it may take 2-3 months for you to feel natural with your face in terms of its texture, sensibility, and loss of tightness. If you live a healthy lifestyle and protect your skin from the sun, you can enjoy the results for about ten years. By the way, remember that face-lift is a cosmetic surgery which may not lead to the exact favorable results you desire. In some situations, surgeons must employ other procedures along with face-lift to meet your needs. Furthermore, the influence of aging must not be taken for granted. As you get older, the facial skin may become loose again.

Face Lift Scars:

Surgeons carefully plan to hide the incisions in the ear canal, behind the ear and in the hairline. You don’t need to worry about them because they are totally invisible in almost all patients depending on the problems they have. In addition, since the incisions are closed with fine sutures, they disappear after a while. Unlike what most candidates think, no hair is required to be shaved.
