10 Questions About Non-Surgical Aesthetics

1. Why are these types of applications needed?

Especially in the late 20s and early 30s, visual differences begin to appear on the face compared to before. The process starts with the manifestation of genetic characteristics along with age-related hormonal changes, childbirth, smoking-alcohol use, weight gain and loss, and the loss of skin firmness due to the sun-solarium effect, and the gravitational pull begins to dominate. And the search begins.

2. How should the evaluation be done?

It can be done in a clean, well-lit environment with hair tied back, facing the mirror, starting from the front, slightly tilting the head forward and backward, slightly turning to the right and left to see from different angles.

First, mimic control should be done on the front. Frowning can cause vertical lines between the eyebrows, raising the eyebrows can cause horizontal lines on the forehead, and squinting can cause crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes. If these movements, which start as mimics, are not prevented, they lead to permanent lines on the skin. The skin is like glass. If it cracks, it is almost impossible to treat. The right thing to do is to take precautions before permanent lines and cracks form on the skin.

By tilting the head forward, backward, and turning it to the right and left in front of the mirror, you can get an idea about the shadows on the face, the lines formed or interrupted on the bulges, under-eye sagging, cheek relaxation and sagging tendency, eyelid drooping and sagging, lines descending from the side of the nose, nose shape deformities, cheek relaxation and sagging tendency, lip corners turning down, lips and jaw structure.

3. Solution search for the determined problem

Once the situation that is worried about or thought to be problematic is determined, the search for a solution begins. The general tendency is to prefer non-surgical solutions, including the early 30s, 40s, and even 50s.

4. Solution options

Non-surgical applications can sometimes be the ideal solution for a problem, or sometimes better results can be obtained by using different methods together. For this reason, those who have had similar procedures before should be examined carefully, and different doctor opinions should be obtained, the products to be used should be questioned, and a decision should be made after careful consideration.

5. Application

Applications are mostly performed with special local anesthetic creams, and rarely needle local anesthesia can also be applied. The processing time generally varies between 15-60 minutes.

6. After Application

The vast majority of applications can be returned to daily life immediately. In particular, Botox, filler, mesotherapy, prp. laser, stem cell, fibrocell are among these applications. In very few of them, there may be temporary bruising the size of a lentil at the needle entry points. Daily life can be continued by covering it with concealer cream. In short, no convalescence period is required.

There may be mild edema on the lips the next day, which is temporary. In thread lift or thread tightening applications, there may be edema and mild bruising on the face for 2-3 days, which is temporary.

In non-surgical upper eyelid aesthetics application, there may be edema and fine crusting that decreases gradually for 3-4 days. It normalizes within 5 days.

In some laser applications, there may be redness for 1-2 days, which goes away on its own.

7. Why non-surgical aesthetics?

The main reasons for preferring non-surgical aesthetics are fear of surgery, anesthesia risks, possible early or late complications of surgery, the irreversibility of the procedure, the possibility of more noticeable, more radical changes, the recovery period afterwards, and the higher cost.

8. Risk of complications in non-surgical aesthetics?
