Natural and Proportional Facial Features with Facial Aesthetics
Facial aesthetics covers aesthetic surgery and supportive procedures that evaluate the forehead, eyebrows, eye area, mid-face, jawline, and neck area three-dimensionally and as a whole. When planning facial aesthetics in Samsun, the goal is not to transform the face into someone completely different, but to make the person's own face look more rested, younger, and more proportional.
Every face's needs are different. In some patients, the upper face and eye area stand out, while in others, facelift and neck aesthetics may be more decisive. For this reason, facial aesthetics should be applied with personalized planning, not with ready-made templates.
What Areas Does Facial Aesthetics Cover?
In Samsun facial aesthetics applications, we generally evaluate the face in three main regions:
- Upper face: Forehead, eyebrows, and eye area
- Mid-face: Cheekbone, nazolabial region, under-eye–mid-face relationship
- Lower face and neck: Jawline, chin tip, jowl, and neck contour
As a result of this evaluation, surgical and, when necessary, non-surgical aesthetics options are considered together; for example, while eyelid aesthetics is sufficient for one patient, combined facial aesthetics may be the more correct approach for another patient.
Upper Face: Forehead, Eyebrows, and Eye Area
The most frequently evaluated areas in the upper face are:
Low eyebrows and sagging eyelids can make a person look more tired and older than they are. While eyelid surgery alone is sufficient for some patients, the eyebrow position also needs to be corrected in others. For this reason, the eyebrow–eye–forehead trio is evaluated together during upper face planning.
Mid-Face and Cheekbone Area
The mid-face directly affects the expression of the face due to its relationship with the cheekbone, nasolabial lines, and under-eye area. In this region, with age:
- Loss of volume in the cheekbone area,
- Tissue sagging downwards from the cheek,
- Clarification of the nose edge lines
can be seen. While this area is addressed surgically with facelift in some patients, a supportive plan with filler applications may be preferred in others.
Lower Face and Neck Line
The lower face and neck are areas that should often be evaluated together during the facial rejuvenation process. Loss of definition in the jawline, fullness in the jowl area, and sagging in the neck:
- Facelift,
- Neck aesthetics,
- In selected cases, jowl liposuction,
- Jawline filler and chin tip filler
can be addressed with procedures such as these. The aim is to create a natural and balanced profile, not "extremely sharp" lines that are incompatible with the rest of the face while defining the chin–neck angle.
Facelift and Combined Facial Aesthetics
In some patients, the change is not limited to just a single region; the upper, mid, and lower face and neck area may be affected together. In this case, facelift and combined facial aesthetics approaches come to the agenda.
When planning combined facial aesthetics, the following headings can be evaluated together:
- Facelift–neck lift combination for the lower face and neck
- Regulation of the forehead and eyebrow area for the upper face
- Eyelid aesthetics for the eye area
- Soft tissue support with filler and botox applications in necessary cases
The same combination is not applied to every patient; a step-by-step plan is created taking into account age, tissue quality, facial structure, and needs in daily life.
Non-Surgical Facial Aesthetics and Supportive Applications
Not every facial aesthetic need requires a surgical solution. In some patients, the expression of the face and skin quality can be significantly improved with:
- Botox applications
- Filler applications (for example cheekbone filler, under-eye light filler)
- Mesotherapy and youth vaccine
- Liquid facelift and supportive skin care
under the heading of non-surgical aesthetics. Such applications can also be planned to support and protect the results after surgical procedures.
Who Can Be a Suitable Candidate for Facial Aesthetics?
In the Samsun facial aesthetics evaluation, there are typically patients who apply with the following complaints:
- Those who feel that they have a tired, fallen, or sad expression on their face
- Those who are uncomfortable with eyelid sagging, bagging, or low eyebrows
- Those who experience volume loss in the cheekbone area and cheek sagging
- Those with significant loosening in the jawline and neck area and a jowl appearance
During the examination, the face is analyzed not only according to the number of wrinkles, but also over three-dimensional structure, tissue quality, and proportions. Then, it is discussed which of the surgical and/or non-surgical options might be logical.
Evaluation Before Facial Aesthetics in Samsun
In the Samsun facial aesthetics examination, the general structure of the face, skin quality, the location of the fat tissue, muscle activities, and mimic habits are evaluated together. In this process:
- The upper, mid, and lower face are examined separately,
- The harmony of the neck area and the face with each other is reviewed,
- Past aesthetic procedures and skin care history are taken into account,
- Daily life, work pace, and social needs are also included in the planning.
The aim is to achieve a result that not only looks good in photographs but is also accepted as natural when viewed closely.
Scars and Naturalness of Expression in Facial Aesthetics
In surgical facial aesthetic procedures (especially in surgeries such as facelift and neck aesthetics), incisions are generally planned to be:
- In the pre- and post-ear line and within the hairline,
- Parallel to natural skin folds
The appearance of scars is affected by skin type, wound healing characteristics, and post-operative care habits. Another important point when planning is the naturalness of the facial expression; specifically, an image where mimics are frozen or the "face has changed beyond recognition" is not aimed for.
