French Hanger
French sling or French face lift method is a method in which an aesthetic appearance is gained by stretching the sagging and wrinkled skin in the chin area of the face towards the ear level by using flexible threads with polyester and silicone content compatible with human skin, placed under the skin without surgery. The procedure is considered to be an easy, effective and long-lasting method since it is based on the principle of using flexible threads compatible with the body without the need for serious surgery and surgical incisions that can create negative images on the skin.
Especially with aging, the skin, which wrinkles and sags towards the lower jaw due to the effects of facial mimic muscles, wear and tear in the tissues, environmental factors and gravity, is stretched again towards the ear level, and the skin is given both a healthy and aesthetic appearance. In addition, in unilateral sagging of the skin tissue due to health problems such as facial paralysis, the patient can achieve an aesthetic and healthy appearance through the French sling.
The French sling method is especially preferred by individuals who do not want to undergo aesthetic surgery or who do not have a health condition suitable for the operation. Since the French hanger method aims to stretch the skin that has been damaged and has started to show symptoms such as sagging and wrinkling, the method is more successful in adults between the ages of 35-65, when these symptoms begin to develop. After the procedure, while the face takes an oval shape, wrinkles on the face are reduced, and with the help of the threads placed under the skin, the regeneration of the facial skin is stimulated and the skin gains a healthier and more aesthetic appearance.
How to make a French Hanger?
The French strap method is applied by placing flexible threads between the skin tissue in front of the ear and the tissues around the chin where stretching is targeted. For this purpose, the procedure areas are cleaned so that they become sterile and the area around the procedure area is anaesthetised by applying local anaesthetic substances. Then, flexible threads are sent under the skin through very small incisions made in the skin and placed in the relevant areas. Afterwards, the threads are stretched appropriately and the threads are fixed at the ear level. The whole procedure takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes. After the procedure, the patient can continue his/her daily life. It may take a few days for the skin tissue to heal completely after the procedure.
The procedure can be reversed according to the patient's desire. In addition, the flexible threads placed with the procedure can perform the stretching process for 5 to 10 years. The French sling procedure can be repeated after 5 years according to the patient's request.
Since the threads used in the procedure are compatible with body tissues and highly elastic, they do not cause restriction in the movements of facial mimic muscles and do not adversely affect the patient's quality of daily life. French sling application is a very popular method because it provides an aesthetic appearance painlessly and in a short time without the need for surgical procedure.
