When we start to age, the elasticity of our skin decreases, our wrinkles begin to become more pronounced and sagging begins to occur in our facial features. Many people who do not want to face such
problems turn to face lift and rejuvenation
applications. But are these procedures really permanent? Is it possible to get effective
results in the long term? Facelift is the process of tightening the facial skin with surgical or non-surgical methods. Surgical facelift procedures are usually performed under local or general anesthesia and aim for a younger appearance by repositioning the tissues under the skin. Non-surgical methods include techniques with shorter duration of action such as fillers, botox, ultherapy (ultrasonic tightening) and radiofrequency.
Although surgical facelift applications alone are not permanent, they usually remain valid for 7-10 years
. However, this period is not fixed and may vary depending on factors such as the person’s genetic structure, lifestyle, smoking and alcohol use, sun exposure time. The validity of non-surgical procedures is much shorter; for example, the duration of botox is usually 4-6 months and the duration of filling applications is between 6-12 months.
For people who want to achieve longer lasting results, it may not be enough to have only one procedure
. Paying attention to skin care, healthy nutrition, plenty of water consumption, regular sleep and sun protection helps to prolong the duration of the effect of rejuvenation applications. In addition, listening carefully to the doctor’s recommendations and following them after the procedure accelerates the healing process and increases the permanence of the results. As a result, facelift and rejuvenation applications can give effective and satisfactory results on the skin when applied with the right method and professional experts. While surgical procedures offer longer-term effects, non-surgical (needle, laser, etc.) applications offer shorter-term effects. The issue of permanence differs for each individual. Therefore, it would be the healthiest step to discuss the possible results after the procedure with your specialist doctor before the procedure.
