Rhytidectomy
Rhytidectomy – Expert Facelift Surgery for a Youthful and Natural Look
Hello, I'm Assoc. Prof. Dr. Arzu Akçal, a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in facial rejuvenation and rhytidectomy (facelift surgery). At my clinic in Antalya, I personally perform facelift surgery to help patients achieve a more youthful, refreshed, and natural appearance. With advanced facelift techniques, I restore facial contours while preserving the natural harmony of your features.
What is a Rhytidectomy (Facelift Surgery)?
Rhytidectomy, commonly known as facelift surgery, is a surgical procedure designed to tighten sagging skin, redefine facial contours, and smooth out wrinkles. As we age, skin loses elasticity, facial fat diminishes, and gravity causes sagging, leading to deep wrinkles, jowls, and loose skin.
At my clinic, I perform customized facelift procedures that target key aging concerns:
✔️ Lifting and tightening sagging facial skin
✔️ Eliminating deep wrinkles and fine lines
✔️ Defining the jawline and reducing jowls
✔️ Smoothing out nasolabial folds and marionette lines
✔️ Enhancing overall facial harmony for a youthful yet natural look
How is Facelift Surgery Performed?
Every rhytidectomy procedure is tailored to the patient's facial structure, skin quality, and aging concerns. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, ensuring maximum comfort.
Step-by-Step Facelift Procedure
1️⃣ Consultation & Surgical Planning: I assess your facial structure and skin condition to determine the best facelift technique for you.
2️⃣ Precise Incision Placement: Incisions are carefully placed along the hairline, around the ears, or under the chin to ensure minimal scarring.
3️⃣ Lifting & Repositioning: The underlying muscles and tissues are tightened, and excess skin is removed for a firmer appearance.
4️⃣ Fat Repositioning & Volume Restoration: If needed, fat grafting or dermal fillers are used to restore lost volume.
5️⃣ Skin Closure & Recovery: The skin is re-draped, sutured, and bandaged for optimal healing.
What to Expect After Rhytidectomy?
💡 Recovery & Aftercare Tips:
- Mild swelling and bruising are normal and subside within 1-2 weeks.
- Cold compress application helps reduce swelling.
- Sleeping with your head elevated accelerates healing.
- Avoid heavy exercise and direct sun exposure for a few weeks.
- Follow-up visits are essential to monitor healing and ensure optimal results.
How Long Do Facelift Results Last?
The results of facelift surgery are long-lasting, typically 10-15 years, depending on lifestyle and skincare habits. While rhytidectomy does not stop aging, it significantly reverses visible signs of aging and helps maintain a youthful look for years.
