Lower Face Lift Surgery tightens sagging in the jawline and cheek areas, making facial contours appear youthful, firm, and dynamic. Aging, genetic factors, weight fluctuations, and gravity cause a loss of elasticity in the lower face. This procedure eliminates sagging and provides a natural appearance.

The surgeon applies local anesthesia during the procedure. The patient remains awake, feels no pain, and experiences a comfortable process. Local anesthesia eliminates the risks associated with general anesthesia and speeds up the recovery period.

How is the Lower Face Lift Performed?

The surgeon removes excess skin, tightens connective tissues, and reshapes facial muscles. Minimal incisions are hidden within skin folds, making scars invisible. This method defines facial contours and sharpens the jawline. Moreover, the face maintains a natural look.

Minimally invasive techniques reduce swelling and bruising. Most patients are discharged the same day and return to daily activities quickly. A rejuvenated and tightened appearance emerges within a few weeks.

Lower Face Lift Techniques

We apply the lower face lift according to the patient’s needs and degree of sagging:

• Classic Lower Face Lift: The surgeon tightens connective tissues under the skin and removes excess skin for patients with advanced sagging in the jawline and cheek areas. This makes facial contours more defined.
• Endoscopic Lower Face Lift: The surgeon uses small incisions to access under the skin and tightens connective tissues and muscles. Scars are minimal, and recovery is fast.
• Mini Lower Face Lift: Suitable for patients with mild sagging. The surgeon performs the procedure through small incisions, resulting in a shorter recovery time and quicker return to daily life.
• Lower Face Lift with Local Anesthesia: An ideal method for moderate sagging. The patient stays awake, feels no pain, and the healing process speeds up.

Recovery Process and Aftercare

If the patient follows instructions carefully after the lower face lift, recovery is fast and smooth. The patient rests and keeps the head elevated for the first 48 hours to reduce swelling. The surgeon monitors bandages and stitches to minimize infection risk.

Swelling and bruising are normal and usually decrease within a few days. The patient applies cold compresses and follows the doctor’s recommendations. Heavy physical activity and excessive facial movements should be avoided for several weeks to support healing.

The patient takes prescribed medications regularly and attends follow-up appointments. Since the skin is sensitive during recovery, it is protected from direct sunlight, and high-factor sunscreen is applied.

Thanks to these precautions, the patient returns to daily life quickly and gains a natural, youthful appearance. Minimally invasive techniques and local anesthesia make recovery fast and comfortable.
