It takes around 1 hour.

After surgery you will stay one night in the hospital for observation. Especially the first days (2,3,4th) we are awaiting a lot of swelling and bruising around the eye area. After 4-5 days the swelling and bruising will change place and drop back. The first 2 weeks it is really normal to got a more extreme result like slanted eyes (more than you asked for) and also to got asymmetry. After 2 weeks you can easıly return back to your social life.

No surgery can be called permanent, but this procedure can be described as stretching the deep tissues and changing their location permanently. In every surgery many factors affecting the permanence of the result like the skin quality, environmental factors, self care, bad/harmful habits of the patients, their lifestyle, their health situation, their sleep patterns, especially their genetics, nutrition etc. So it is always individual.  And it is impossible to say that a surgery is 100% permanent. After surgery, especially after getting back the movement of the muscles and facial expressions begin to be used, loosening of the skin is inevitable. Therefore, we are lfiting more than basically planned so more than the expected result of the surgery. The result of the surgery will age with you, but its elegant effect is expected to always be with you.

An incision of approximately 2.5 cm is planned parallel to the hairline, 2 cm behind the temporal scalp.

The temple lift procedure itself aims to lift the sides of the eyebrows, change the angle of the eyes (cat eye / almond eye) and even make them more prominent, and lift the upper cheek area.

It is a condition that can be completely determined through preoperative consultations and examinations.

After surgery especially the first 2 weeks we are awaiting swelling and bruising. This period may vary depending on the person’s genetic characteristics and environmental factors. To get rid of the swelling and bruising could take even probably about 6-8 weeks.

Especially patients with sagging cheeks and with a noticeable huge distance between lower eyelid and cheeks and also patients with prominent nasolobial folds are suitable for this surgery. For patients with sagginess on the whole face especially on the lower 1/3 part this surgery is NOT suitable.

Midfacelift surgery is performed really often with the temple lift surgery together. With a 2.5 cm incision made through the hair in the temple area and a 1 cm incision made over the mouth and upper teeth, all the remaining tissues are released from the bone plane. All bands and sagginess in the midface-lower eyelid zygomatic area are released and surgical tightening, especially upward and oblique, is provided. There wont be any surgical incision or cut around around the ear or on the lower eyelid area.

Definitely yes, we can do this for younger patients safely especially for the ones with sagginess on the middle part of their face (sagging cheeks etc.) due to genetics etc.

Apart from its main purpose, its biggest effect will be especially on the jaw line. The success rate is high, especially in patients with high skin quality who do not have serious skin sagging. When we want to get a more effective result we adding in some cases also buccal fat repositioning (not taking out) especially for patients with noticeable puffiness on the lower part of their faces.

A serious and difficult process awaits you rigth after the midfacelift. A liquid diet and serious oral care are required for the first 7 days after the surgery. Depending on the surgical technique, there will be a feeling of numbness around the upper lip and nose. Pain in the form of pressure around the cheek is expected for the first 2-3 days and headache in the first week. Edema and swelling, especially in the cheeks, will last for a long time in patients who have had previous procedures or fillers. We recommend that you allocate your entire calendar and schedule for 2 weeks after surgery because you need time to heal. We will give you a letter about the recovery process in which everything is explained in detail like the healing day by day.

Inner-mouth and in-hair stitches are self-dissolving stitches. There’s no need for taking out stitches.

Edema and bruising are expected especially in the first 2 weeks after surgery, and this period may vary depending on the genetic characteristics of the person and environmental factors. To get rid of all the swelling could take approximately even 6-8 weeks.

Although there is no special corset to be used after the surgery, anti-edema and corrective taping will be applied to the cheek and temple areas for the first 7 days.

Especially patients who DO NOT got really noticeable sagginess on the lower part of their face who are not suitable fort he deep plane facelift and just got sagginess on the neck area are suitable for the necklift surgery by itself. Mostly we are combinating this surgery with the temporal lift and midfacelift surgery.

Mostly the incisions are done under the chin and also around your earlobs means behind the ear folds. It is stated that there is no incision in front of the ear and the scars are planned on anatomical folds that can be preserved relatively better.

Especially the first 3-5 days in the neck area we are expecting a lot of swelling caused by the reconstruction. This can cause pressure and pain. After surgery we are expecting fast healing, after the first 7-10 days, due to the gravity effect of edema and muscle structures, tiny bumps and a second neck can be observed in the surgical area, this situation is completely temporary.

In case of deep plane facelift we are suggesting to wear the corset for the first 7-10 days.

Especially patients who got too much excess skin and significant sagginess on their faces.

Not just the skin, with releasing and lifting the skin tissue layers (which is the main reason for sagginess or which causes the sagginess) we can achieve natural lines means more natural result (without  overly tense appearance that puts stress on the skin on the face and no pressure on the face). That is the reason why this technique is preferred. The main goal is to achieve a more defined jawline and a more refreshed and dynamic look (especially with the middle part of the face). Since there is no excessive tension on the skin, scars are less noticeable.

The first 2 days we want you to stay in our hospital purely for observation purposes and for making you feel more comfortable. During this early period you can take a walk, you can eat or going to the toilet, so you can supply your basic needs. A feeling of tension in the face and especially in the neck is normal for the first 3-5 days. Less bleeding and edema is expected compared to other face lift techniques. The first dressing, which is in the form of a bandage, will be removed before your discharge, and then you will switch to taping and a light corset that you will use for the first 7 days. After discharge, you can take a shower and wash your entire face and hair.

It is especially risky for patients who smoke or have smoked for a long time, have rheumatological diseases, hypertension-diabetes mellitus (DM) or bleeding disorders. These aspects can cause complications or the risk of complications can rise due to those health problems. Most importantly, more detailed evaluations should be made in patients who have had previous thread procedures, whether permanent or not, those who have had facial procedures done with heat-based or energy-based devices, and most importantly, patients who have had surgery before.

In deep plane face lift surgery, although it varies depending on the person’s needs, the scars are hidden in the ear folds starting from the temple area, and an incision is made behind the ear and planned on the hair-skin line behind the ear. When the tension is applied in accordance with the natural fold lines, the scars will decrease over time. In some cases, hypertophic scars or keloids could be seen, although very rarely. A person’s genetic predispositions and environmental factors (sun exposure, smoking, frequent use of make-up) are effective. We recommend all reducing creams for scars and will let you know which ones you have to use for better healing.

For rapid recovery after facelift, we frequently recommend and apply HBO-hyperbaric oxygen therapy after discharge. The following 5-6 days after discharge we are recommending to get 1 hour of oxygen therapy per day every day.

The first 3 days we will follow your healing with the thick corset, so first 3 days you will wear that one.  After the 3rd day you will wear the thin and light one for 4-8 hours a day. After the 10th day you do not have to wear any corset anymore.

In general, as before all surgeries, blood thinners should be discontinued three weeks in advance in consultation with the anesthesiologist; if there are additional diseases-allergies, etc., our anesthesiologist should be informed. Smoking cessation at least six weeks before surgery is essential for facelift surgery. This is the surgical procedure where smoking affects the surgical process and wound healing the most.

With age, the facial skin sags and accumulates in the jaw’s corners due to deformations or genetic factors. With the sliding membranes under the loose neck skin, the subcutaneous membrane and ligament structures are restored, and excess skin is removed with incisions made in the anterior and posterior ear and hairline. Face and neck lift surgery is one of the surgeries with the best results. The biggest mistake here is to expect an increase in skin quality. It should not be forgotten that this surgery is a stretching surgery; skin renewal is a combined procedure performed entirely after this surgery. In general, we perform face and neck lift surgeries together with a holistic approach.

In general, it is a surgery performed more after the age of 40s, depending on the person’s face deformation. Non-surgical methods are preferred in earlier periods.

When is the right time? The preferred period is autumn and winter, where cold weather and sun effects are low. It can also be done on summer days by taking precautions.

As with any surgery, there will be scars in this surgery, but this scar is hidden in anatomical folding points contrary to popular belief. The anterior and posterior ear scars heal very well; the scars hidden in front of the scalp become less evident over time. It should be kept in mind that scarring depends entirely on the patient’s skin quality, genetic factors, external factors ( smoking – sun, etc.). Special creams are recommended to prevent scars after facelift surgery.

Face and neck lift surgeries can generally be performed under local anaesthesia + sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on the patient’s preference. Patients are preferably kept under observation for one night after local anaesthesia and for at least two nights after general anaesthesia. There will be special pressure dressings and drains for the first 2-3 days. Significant oedema and bruising are inevitable in the first ten days. After opening the first dressings, the hair can be washed. There will be daily dressings for the first two weeks, during which thin face corsets are worn. After two weeks, special scar prevention creams are applied.

Rest at home is generally recommended for the first five days after facelift surgery; it is essential not to increase blood pressure and avoid external factors. Rest is generally recommended for the first three weeks, and you can return to social life after this process.

Unlike other surgeries, tissues’ adaptation takes longer in facial surgeries, so oedema and swelling are evident in the first month, but healing continues for 6-12 months. The skin, which is felt tense in the first postoperative period, relaxes slightly and is felt more comfortable after the first healing.

After surgery, smoking, all movements that will increase blood pressure, and unhealthy meals should be avoided. Significantly excessive massage, early exposure to heat will damage healing tissues. After facelift surgery, it is essential to combine post-healing skin healing procedures. Especially in the high oxygen environment, keeping the head high and less salty diets are recommended for recovery.

There are approximately 2.5 cm scars on both sides of the temple scalp, parallel to the hair follicles, completely within the scalp, and 2 0.5 cm scars in the midline.

In the first period, all forehead muscles will not work for 6-8 weeks, asymmetries may be observed due to the muscles starting to move during this period. You may feel numbness in the forehead area and midline of the scalp for a while, this is completely temporary. Especially during the first period it will seem like it is too extreme and it will look more pulled than you asked for but that’s normal caused by muscle unactivity after getting back the movement of your muscles this situation will get back to normal and wont seem to look extreme, this can take up to 3-4 weeks. You will be followed with tapes for the first 7 days, then there may be skin irregularities and shrinkage, it is completely temporary. The final result is achieved within 8-12 weeks.

Temporal lift surgery can also be performed through brow lift incisions and can be combined with mid-face lift/face lift surgeries if desired.

After the facial consultation we will decide if this is needed or not and if yes, the same incisions can be brought to softer lines under the eye walls-bone membrane with ‘micromotors’ in order to make the eyes more prominent and to obtain longer-lasting eyebrow lift surgeries. This is not a process such as breaking the bone structure etc., it is a completely safe and minimal procedure.
