Face Lifting

WHAT IS THE NON-OPERATIONAL FACE LIFT APPLICATION?
Non-surgical face lift is an aesthetic technique designed to reduce and eliminate deformations, loss of skin volume, sagging, wrinkles and lines that occur in the face and neck area as a sign of aging, often with the effect of time and gravity through the use of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) technology. It is a commonly used method that can provide positive effects without requiring surgical intervention in cases where patients do not want the effects of aging on their faces aesthetically and are dissatisfied with the signs of aging. Non-surgical face lift operation can be referred to as Ultracel, focus ultrasound, face lift with ultrasound and it is preferred by patients because it can provide rejuvenation effects without the need of surgical intervention with the developing technology in the recent period and it is an application that stands out in the world of aesthetic and plastic surgery. In order to achieve a younger and healthier appearance of the patient in the non-surgical face lift operation, especially the forehead, eyebrows, eye contours, lips, chin, nose and neck regions are provided with high intensity focused ultrasound technology (HIFU). The image that the majority of patients desire to achieve aesthetically, is to achieve a rejuvenation that is not understood to be “intervened from the outside” with a “natural” proportional harmony with their own faces.

HOW IS NON-OPERATIONAL FACE LIFT APPLICATION DONE?

The “aesthetic” expectations of the patient are of great importance in the non-surgical face lift application. In the aesthetic expectation, the patient may have a certain rejuvenation in his head and a desired shape in their face. Taking these expectations into consideration, the aesthetic surgeon forms the scope of the application by presenting to the patient the method recommendations that will provide the closest results to the patient in accordance with the general structure of the face. In areas where a positive effect is required in non-surgical face lift process, high intensity focused ultrasound technology (HIFU) uses controlled temperature bruises at different depth levels of the skin in the range of 1.5 to 13 mm depending on the scope of treatment. The process of regeneration triggered by ultrasound technology activates the person's own natural repair mechanisms in areas where the patient wants to rejuvenate and tighten, stimulates the recovery of connective tissues by increasing the synthesis of collagen and elastin. If preferred by the patient and the doctor considers it appropriate, the procedure performed with local anesthesia is completed in approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the application areas.

HOW LONG IS THE HEALING PROCESS AFTER NON-OPERATIONAL FACE LIFT?

Since the non-surgical face lift is a method that does not require surgical intervention, it can be performed in a short time and there is no need for a serious recovery period for the patient. The patient can immediately return to work and social life after non-operational face lift. Very mild swelling and redness in the areas where the treatment is done are normal and these effects are resolved within 1-2 days in parallel with the healing process. The effects of the procedure appear within 1 month after the application and during the first 3 months, the collagen synthesis provided by ultrasound technology and the repair of connective tissues increase and become clearer. The rejuvenation effects provided by the non-surgical face lift operation can last up to 2 years and can be re-applied when the desired effects of the method decrease or disappear.

IS NON-OPERATIONAL FACE LIFT A RISKY APPLICATION?

Considerations in non-surgical face lift are the use of licensed ultrasound systems, the expertise of the doctor, the provision of hygienic and appropriate conditions. Since the application is not performed with general anesthesia, it is performed with local anesthesia if preferred and deemed appropriate, there are no risks related to general anesthesia. Information about side effects that may occur after the operation and precautions to be taken are given by aesthetic surgery doctor.
