FACE PROCEDURES

FACIAL SURGERY IN ANTALYA, TÜRKİYE

A face and neck lift repositions the deep layer. It does not tighten skin — which is what makes a result still look right ten years later. Eyelid surgery and rhinoplasty are assessed in the same examination, because they rarely sit apart from the rest of the face; appearance and airway are looked at together.

Every operation is performed by Dr. Seckin Oksar. A facelift can be done alone or together with eyelid surgery or nose reshaping, and it cannot give you a totally different look — before you decide, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them at the consultation. To start, contact us with front and profile photographs; you will have an honest opinion within one working day.

FACE PROCEDURES

Face & Neck Lift

As people age, deep creases form between the nose and mouth, the jawline grows slack and jowly, and folds and fat deposits appear around the neck. A facelift cannot stop this; what it can do is set back the clock by repositioning the deep layer of the face and neck and removing excess fat. The neck is treated in the same operation.

The best candidate is a man or woman whose face and neck have begun to sag but whose skin still has some elasticity and whose bone structure is strong and well-defined. Most patients are in their forties to sixties. It can make you look fresher, but it cannot give you a totally different look, nor restore the vitality of youth.

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Adults of all ages can benefit: excess skin or a puffy appearance on the upper lids, bags and dark circles under the lower lids, or inherited traits that make a face look older or tired. The operation is designed around the problem — if only the upper lids are affected there is no need to operate on the lower, and if only fat is the issue there is no need to remove skin.

Incisions follow the natural lines of the eyelids, in the crease of the upper lid and just below the lashes on the lower. Where there is a pocket of fat under the lower lid but no excess skin, the incision is made inside the lid and leaves no visible scar. There is usually no pain, just temporary swelling, bruising and sensitivity to light for a few days.

Rhinoplasty

The nose can be reshaped by reducing or increasing its size, removing a hump, changing the tip or bridge, narrowing the nostrils, or altering the angle between nose and upper lip. Breathing problems can be corrected in the same operation. The skin quality and the size and shape of the nose in relation to the face are studied first; sometimes the chin is corrected at the same time to balance the face.

Usually all incisions are placed inside the nose. In more difficult cases and in re-operations a small incision is made in the columella, the tissue between the nostrils. Patients should be at least 16 (girls) or 17 (boys), because the structures of the face are still changing before then. Results are individual and should not be compared with anyone else’s.

Chin & Cheek Augmentation

Moderate underdevelopment of the chin can be corrected with a preformed implant, shaped to the required contour and placed directly onto the jawbone through a small incision beneath the chin. It is often performed together with nasal correction, where it improves the overall result, or with a facelift where soft-tissue volume has shrunk.

A protruding chin is a different condition, and often occurs together with dental malocclusion, which must be studied in planning. Correction may involve reducing the bone alone, or repositioning the lower jaw when dental realignment is necessary. The incision beneath the chin is preferred to an oral one because it carries less risk of infection.

Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)

The size, shape and position of the ear is most often a family characteristic, and so are its variations — including the protruding ear, particularly when both sides are involved. Correction can be performed effectively from the fifth or sixth year, by which time the ear has almost reached adult size.

The operation repositions or alters the flexible cartilage to reduce the protrusion and give a soft, natural curve to the fold of the ear when seen from the side. Incisions sit behind the ear where any scar is not visible, and sutures are absorbable. A head dressing protects both ears for about three days, then a bandage at night only for three weeks. Both ears are never exactly alike, so perfect symmetry is not a reasonable expectation.

Times are typical, not promises. Every operation involves some risk; the risks specific to each procedure are discussed with you at the consultation, before you decide.
